Product Description

The Seanchaí - Shanachie - are the Gaelic storytellers, known in Wales as the Cyfarwydd - “The one who knows”. They are the keepers of the old lore and clan histories of the tribes. The Old Knowledge was not written down, and the long lyric poems and legends were memorized by the respected storytellers and bards, who kept the native oral traditions alive through the generations. The Salmon of Wisdom, Mórrígan the Raven, Crane, Fox, Hare, Hound, Spider, Butterfly, Mouse - are interwoven around the Tree of Life, feeding the tales of the Seanchaithe. The bird headed harp is played by the Bard, and the boat represents the mythic journey. Following in the tradition of the Welsh learners’ illustrated alphabet prints that appeared in the children’s schools of west glamorgan in south wales at the turn of the century, this design is framed by the letters AWEN - which means poetic inspiration. A is represented by Adar - bird in Welsh, E for Eog - Salmon, Wy for Egg, and Nghigfrain is the Raven.

Giclee Printmaking

Contemporary Print makers are beginning to use the Giclee digital print making process using archival Museum quality materials and inks to produce Fine Art limited edition prints. The word Giclee is from the French word "to spray". It is a high quality, plateless printing process that was developed in 1989, in which a fine spray of ink moves across the paper. It rivals lithography in its resolution and color range,and is fast becoming a favorite with artists. Robert Rauschenberg and David Hockney are among those using the technique. Prestigious museums such as the Guggenheim, the New York Metropolitan Museum, the Corcoran in Washington DC to mention a few, are enthusiasticaly embracing the use of Giclee printing from original art. Deep saturated colors, and fine tone resolution using archival water soluble inks and beautiful heavy archival papers produce rich prints which have outstanding fade resistance.
