Eirina and Siska portrays a mother orangutan and her daughter resting together in quiet closeness. Drawn from my time working at the Denver Zoo, this piece reflects the deep bonds I observed between mothers and their young; relationships built through constant contact, patience, and trust. The figures are carved to emphasize weight, warmth, and protection, with the daughter nestled into her mother’s presence. It’s a moment of shared stillness that speaks to care, learning, and the steady reassurance of being held within another’s orbit.
Each print is hand-pulled from a carved linoleum block on an etching press. Subtle variations in ink coverage, pressure, and texture occur naturally during the printing process, making every impression unique.
Process note: The listing image shows print 3/30. Because prints 4/30 through 30/30 are visually very similar and priced the same, individual photographs are not provided for each number. Orders are fulfilled sequentially in the order they are received, and you will receive the next available print from the edition.
