Screen printed patch "Eye of Ouroboros"
The Ouroboros – the snake/dragon that devours its own tail – is an ancient symbol for eternity and for what Nietzsche called „ewige Wiederkunft des Gleichen“ („eternal recurrence of all things“) centuries later. So is the sun and the moon, two opposites, that take turns over and over again, creating a never-ending loop of beginnings and endings (Alpha and Omega) while nature takes its course. While many small accidentals may create variations, the greater image the allseeing eye recognizes stays the same.
ca. 12 cm / ca. 4,5''. 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.
