Kingley Vale in West Sussex is a unique nature reserve, comprising of an ancient yew forest and a ridge with prehistoric barrows and evidence of a settlement. I made two works based on the folklore of this amazing site:
This work centres on the Devil's Jumps or Kings' Graves - barrows that according to folklore belong to the kings of Viking raiders, defeated on this site in the 9th century.
The decorated capitals are inspired by an illuminated manuscript from a Carthusian monastery in the Low countries, and the depictions of vikings are all based on mediaeval imagery.
A4 sized mounted print, suitable for an 11” by 14” frame.
This illuminated print is gold-foiled to look and feel like the gold-leafed original.
Limited run of 25, hand-numbered and signed.
