Quest for the Jewel of Life
The prints are arranged in a series of narratives inspired by the classic Greek myths that tell stories about Persephone and Hades' forbidden love. During the progression of the tale, three heroes (Amber the Fox, Aura the Cat, and Jasper the Hare) will encounter the King and Queen of the Underworld along with Hades' trusted Gatekeepers (Nosch the Ram, Kür the Dragon, and Kolivan the Bull) in search of the rumored Jewel of Life. Just as all of the heroes go through difficult journeys, we are all reminded that everyone faces adversity.
The key moments are depicted using detailed line work for each of the main scenes. The key image for each print is an intaglio combined with a variety of monoprint and collagraph techniques.
