Screen printed Patch "Hermit" - white ink on black canvas
Searching for insight into his inner world the Hermit walks alone, bearing a torch to light his way through the darkness that is hiding the path that lies before him. The Hermit chooses to live in solitude willingly for he knows that the kind of spiritual and transcendental insight he is searching for is only to be found within himself – through extensive introspection and separation from everything superficial and material that can distract him from his digging into the realm of feelings and emotions but also into the realm of his logos, that wants to be untainted from external factors. Due to his ambition to elevate the mind beyond the restrictions of the mortal shell, the figure of the Hermit has been the epitome of wisdom and spiritual as well as personal growth ever since.
ca. 42 x 27 cm / ca. 16,5'' x 10,4''. 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 cotton 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 rather than stitching parallel to the edge.
