“At the centre of all things resides the sun. Rightly it is called the lamp, the spirit, the ruler of the universe. Thus the sun sits on its royal throne and guides its children” - Copernicus Harmonia Macrocosmia

Warm up your walls with the original deity: the sun. Worshipped by the ancient civilisations of the Aztecs, Egyptians, Greeks and Vedas the sun is the all powerful life force that connects us all. For my interpretation of this classic symbol I looked to the suns of Western Alchemy, Astrology and Tarot where the sun often represented the creative vitality and spiritual enlightenment.

The sun has also had a long connection with gold in lots of cultures. This edition is real celebration of that unity. It’s got the most 23.5 gold leaf I’ve used on an edition so far. And that gold has been directionally burnished with a bit of velvet to make the light bounce off at different angles and create a dimensional pop. Difficult to convey in photos but its entrancing in real life.

Just make sure wherever this print ends up in your home that its getting a good dose of the original sun’s light to really make the gold sing.
