This piece means something to me that I find difficult to express in a description box.

Stagnum Spiritus translates from Latin to: "spirit of the swamp".

Hand printed, cut, and colored in a small edition of 20 on sugar cane printing paper. Hand cut piece comes matted, unframed.
Each print is unique.
Please allow for slight variations.

I use biodegradable plastic and recycled cardboard to package my prints (since 2010).

A little about the artist Rebecca Cristante (myself):

Growing up in a rural town in south Georgia gave me an ample first hand education of the natural world. In college I immersed myself in religious studies and ecology, fortifying my foundation of respect for the unseen connections of everything in us, and around us, which is often the theme of my work. I started focusing primarily on printmaking full time in 2010, when my first son was born. While printing has become my day job, I spend as many evenings and weekends as I can in books and paintings, some my own, some someone else’s. I make my prints the old fashioned way, with hand drawn sketches and hand carved blocks and fragrant ink. It is truly an honor and a dream come true each time I address an envelope to send my art to you.
