Description
Personal mixed media piece from a series combining my writing and art. This one illustrates a poem I wrote called flood.Flood.
Stem the flood.
It flows like blood,
from an open wound.
Cut by fingers and tongues,
like knives and guns.
Stem the flood.
It flows like blood,
from my veins.
crimson, ruptured, open, gaping,
bits of me escaping.
Stem the flood.
The flow like blood,
fill the breach.
Dam it up with heart and soul,
cap the bloody flowing hole.
Stem the flood.
Dry up the blood,
fade the scar remaining.
Wipe away the crimson stain,
make the deluge calm again.

Great, and the phone hanging from a cord kicks it over the edge.

Thanks! I do like the unexpected juxtaposition ... throwing in little icons that mean something to me but are not obvious in meaning in relation to the image.

I desperately want to buy a print of this. Any hope?

Sorry about the delay! I don't check this page so often. I can certainly get a print to you one way or another. I don't usually sell prints through this site but you could get one direct.

Well, please do tell me the details of the print itself, how much it would cost and how I would pay. I would very much like one.

It's £45 for a signed A3 print or £70 for A2 which is what I charge for prints at my shop ... [link] ... do you have paypal? I can take payment that way.
The paper type is usually german etching and the print is done by a fine art printer near me. I may take his advice on which paper to use for this print ... he knows about these things! but I would let you know the details of that if he suggested a different paper.
