Inspired by Mackenzie's many trips to Japan, where his work is highly sought after, he started crafting this print from a pastel image...and then collaborating with his master printer in England he took it to a new destination of originality!
Hand applied golden metallic leaf, merged with contemporary printing methods, was only the beginning for this print. Pushing the boundaries even further they decided to utilize traditional silk-screening techniques, using iridescent glazes and inks, ultimately adding great depth to this multilayered work of art.
Because of the hand applied technique each piece is distinctive with natural variations on every print, look closely and you can see the details across the petals and trees, it really does need to be viewed in person to fully appreciate its luminosity!
