"Ad Astra"

Linocut print
Limited edition of 35 prints

A lone wolf runs across a starry black night sky, howling at the cosmos in a celestial scene. The print is inspired by the Latin phrase per ardua ad astra (“through adversity to the stars”) and bears resemblance to the Canis Major constellation. This monochromatic print is crafted on off-white, sustainably sourced handmade paper.

Print Care

To ensure that your print stays in the best condition, I recommend framing it. Keep the print at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Avoid acidic framing materials and direct contact with the glass as these can affect the print over time and cause yellowing.
