Details

Printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag a white cotton artist paper known for its soft, luxurious feel and lightly textured surface. This subtle texture gives artwork a sense of depth and dimension, making prints look rich and detailed.

It's acid- and lignin-free, conforming to ISO 9706 standards—so it's built to last and ideal for archival, museum-quality prints. Printed locally and hand finished in Sarahs Brighton Studio with 24ct burnished gold leaf. Sarah uses traditional gold leafing techniques, each dot of gold hand applied, meaning no two are the same.

FRAMING
Available for delivery in the UK only. Prints are float mounted which raises artwork above the mount, creating a gallery effect. We use museum grade perspex not glass. If you are ordering a frame you will be contacted by email to double check your order.

The Story behind

Siren Song is a signed, limited edition of 60 print, hand
finished with Moon Gold Leaf . This piece is an incredibly detailed artwork based on author Margaret Atwood's allegorical poem.

Siren Song
By Margaret Atwood

This is the one song everyone
would like to learn: the song
that is irresistible:

the song that forces men
to leap overboard in squadrons
even though they see the beached skulls

the song nobody knows
because anyone who has heard it
is dead, and the others can’t remember.

Shall I tell you the secret
and if I do, will you get me
out of this bird suit?

I don’t enjoy it here
squatting on this island
looking picturesque and mythical

with these two feathery maniacs,
I don’t enjoy singing
this trio, fatal and valuable.

I will tell the secret to you,
to you, only to you.
Come closer. This song

is a cry for help: Help me!
Only you, only you can,
you are unique

at last. Alas
it is a boring song
but it works every time.
