Cailleach na Mointeach (Old Woman of the Moors) A3 Print
'Cailleach na Mointeach' A3 digital print reproduction of original screen print by illustrator and printmaker Abbie Lois.
Abbie Lois is an illustrator and printmaker based in Glasgow, whose work is inspired by storytelling and folklore. Her work usually has a specific lore behind the piece - themes surrounding landscapes, ancient creatures or interesting people.
Each print measures 210mm x 420mm (A3), and is digitally printed on to high quality 250gsm perlino cotton paper. It is protected by a biodegradable cellophane sleeve.
The print comes with a card which explains the story behind the piece.
Inspired by the hill range on the Isle of Lewis that, when viewed from afar, resembles a sleeping woman. There are many hills around the mainland and islands of Scotland that are named after women - mythical or otherwise - and I wanted to create a print that paid respect to this.
