Traditionally coded as feminine, the garden serves as a domestic space in which women of past and present could safely exert their freedom and creativity. Like Burnett before her, Maggie Lemak reclaims the garden as a site of feminine power. She sees the garden as a woman not due to its fragility and loveliness, as male writers have typically understood it, but through its underlying vigor and vitality.
With a strong mottled texture and warm base tone, we’ve sourced a Hahnemühle German Etching paper that creates a print with strong colors and deep blacks to give that rich, high in contrast feel. Since the pronounced texture of the paper enables it to hold more ink, this paper gives each print a handmade crafted feel.
Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
