Broken Beauty | £35 Limited Edition Print  | 29.7x21cm | Traditional handmade linocut

Broken Beauty is a handmade piece of a dead tree sparrow I found. I drew it then carbon copied it onto a linocut to make the cut. Broken Beauty is a metaphor of how life is beautiful and precious, yet so fragile and easily broken.
