Screen printed patch "Death"
In Tarot Death is a card that symbolizes an ending that is strongly linked to the beginning of something new. Rather than viewing death as a permanent loss, it reminds us that oftentimes real, fundamental change towards something better and brighter is only possible, if what stood in our way comes to an end. Even though the skull is commonly symbolizing death, it is surrounded by rays of light that remind the viewer that even death can be a blessing, if it makes room for new beginnings. While the scythe is commonly associated with the Reaper, the snake in the illustration is referring to its ancient function as a guide between the worlds – leading the spirits from the earthly realm to eternity.
ca. 22 x 14 cm. This patch is designed and screen printed by myself in my home studio. Each patch is printed and cut individually by hand. The colours I use are eco friendly water based screen printing inks, the fabric is black canvas.
IMPORTANT INFO: After they're sewn on the patches are machine-washable at 40°C. To avoid fraying please make sure to fold the edge inward with an iron prior to sewing it on and use stitches that go around the edge (like buttonhole stitches) rather than stitching parallel to the edge.
