Like many I suspect, it has taken me a while to get my head around the times we are living through and how to somehow respond. I bought The Guardian Newspaper on 14TH April and the photo on the front page really struck me. It is a photo of two nurses hugging each other in Leganes, Spain taken by Susana Vera for Reuters.
I think it captures the true human suffering and grief experienced by so many across the world at this time.
Here in England we have been clapping our NHS and care workers every Thursday at 8pm. I really hope the sacrifices these brave men and women (not just working in the NHS but in care homes across the country) have made for us all during this time will not be forgotten when the clapping ends. Indeed, I hope we shall remember them for many, many years to come.
I suppose this is how this print came about. I want people to be able to hang it somewhere in their house and remember. It is a time we should never forget.
I've made it to be easily mounted in a widely available certain Swedish firms RIBBA 40cm x 50cm frame ; )
It will be an edition of 150 which I shall make in batches. The first 10 are ready to go and when this stock is running low I will print off the next 10.
It can be quite a labour intensive, slow process as I burnish each by hand with a wooden spoon!
I have been in a real dilemma about making a charitable donation from sales. After much thought I have decided to keep the price low and should you wish to make a donation to a charity of your choice all the better.
I will be giving 10% from all sales to MacMillan Nurses.
I have given the framed print you see in these photos to our lovely neighbour next door who works for the NHS. (Please note you are buying an unframed print)
Price includes postage and packaging within the UK.
I will do my upmost to post this print on the day or the next day after you order.
It will be sent registered post in a strong cardboard tube (with cardboard end caps to avoid more unnecesary plastic). It will be sent with much excitement and gratitude for your order.
Many Thanks.
