TOTUS MUNDUS AGIT HISTRIONEM

Print description

Totus mundus agit histrionem

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.

This Latin phrase, traditionally associated with Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, reminds us that life itself is a performance. We move between roles, adopt different masks and play our parts in the great theatre of the world. A reflection on human nature, appearances and the curious spectacle of being alive.

Print details

To create this print, I begin by making individual drawings in ink, which I then bring together to form the final composition. I scan these original drawings and digitally add colour. The finished design exists solely in digital form and is printed using archival inks on fine art paper. I release the design as a limited-edition print, available in standard ‘A’ sizes, ranging from A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm) to A4 (21 × 29.7 cm).

Photograph of the base drawings for the art print. I draw these on A3 sheets of specialised marker paper using calligraphic brushes, fine-line ink pens, sponges, sandpaper and other materials. The medium is ink, watercolour and charcoal. I scan these original drawings to form the main linework and patterns in the final print.
