Shelter
This little mountain shelter is inspired by the mystery and melancholy inherent in the Irish landscape. It is also inspired by the current housing crisis, and our innate fascination with the concept of ‘home’ — the kind of place where one feels safe, heard, and unconditional accepted.
What does it mean to be ‘at home’?
Is home somewhere you go when you have nowhere else to go? Is it something you can find by searching? Or is it something you are born into?
Is it something that exists outside or can it only be found within?
Mixed media ink, charcoal and gold dust on cotton rag paper. A5.
Suggestion for Framing: Frame with a matte white border and simple white or light wood frame. Alternatively paintings can be clipped and hung on a string from a nail on the wall. Acrylic ink is light fast and will never fade.
SHIPPING INFO:
€5 shipping.
Typically orders take 1-3 business days for Ireland, 1-2 weeks for America, Europe, UK and Australia take 2-4 weeks.
Paintings will be packed in a sealed clear 100% biodegradable waterproof bag with a thick backing board, and shipped inside a rigid protective envelope
Proof of mailing with each item is provided.
