Artwork description:

In my previous life I was an archaeologist so have always been interested in what our ancestors left behind. The Uffington White Horse is a 360ft long highly stylised carving into a chalk hillside in Oxfordshire, England. No-one knows exactly when it was created but academics agree it dates from the later Prehistoric Period which actually covers anywhere from 1000BC to 100AD. I have depicted the horse here with the crescent moon rising behind the hillside.

I have recently attended a workshop on wood engraving run by Anne Desmet RA and this is one of my first pieces. It's carved on a small piece of Lemonwood, and has been printed by hand onto Awagami Kitakata paper using Caligo Safewash ink. It will not come with a mount.

Please remember that this artwork has been lovingly hand printed (by me!) and is not a digital reproduction. As this is an original artwork and hand crafted product, each print may vary slightly.

DELIVERY INFORMATION
In order to avoid trips to the Post Office, I shall be arranging for delivery to be via courier (not Hermes!) and shipping charges will reflect this. As prices will vary depending on the purchaser's location, if the actual shipping price is less than that charged, I will refund the difference. I am happy to arrange collection.

The high cost of shipping from the UK to the USA is, unfortunately, out of my hands and I won't cut corners by using the cheapest courier or not having insurance as that will just be tempting fate!

IMPORTANT - Rather sadly I've decided that, following Brexit, I can no longer sell my artwork to purchasers in the EU. The customs/VAT regulations are an absolute nightmare and I don't want to risk purchasers having to fork out a lot of unforeseen extra money when taking delivery, and even if I agree to pay Customs and VAT upfront before sending out, the red tape involved just looks horrendous.

I will still be selling to customers outside the EU as there's been no changes there so everything remains the same. My apologies, all I can say is that I voted to remain.

For international buyers please note that import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the price of this artwork or shipping costs. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
