Gorgon's Head

10 x 10 cm

Wood Engraving

The Temple Pediment housed in the Roman Baths carries the image of a fearsome head carved in Bath stone. It is thought to be the Gorgon’s Head which was a powerful symbol of the goddess Sulis Minerva.

These prints are original wood engravings. I engrave on boxwood or lemon wood blocks using traditional hand tools. Then I ink up the block and print the edition one at a time. Each print is an original artist print.

No. of prints in edition: 200

This print is made using Lawrence Original Linseed Oil Relief Ink. The formulas used to create these inks have been in use for hundreds of years and are “free from animal-based or derived ingredients, made with linseed oil, not honey or gelatine”. The paper is archival and acid free.

Each print is signed, dated and editioned in pencil below the image.
