PILGRIMAGE OF STORIES AND STONES

Battle Axe

Cost
2023
Silkscreened fabric, tartan, interfacing, aluminum, thread

For this piece, I used a grey-on-grey chainmail pattern that I printed, The Spirit of Scotland tartan, and the knotwork pattern based on a design carved into a viking casket found in Govan.

This piece is about the price of blood spilled in conflicts. From the  roman invasion, to the viking raids, and the English occupation of Scotland, a lot of blood has been paid over its land, and people.
