The Eyes Have It

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 piece is inspired by The Eyes Have It, a poem by Brighton poet, Niall Hollaert:

The eyes have itThe type of eyes to mess up everythingTo watch you lose all reason. All sense. Even your shoes.The kind that would split heavens, and put Zeus to his knees.Rich as Montezuma in their dark cradles.They would have you turn your back on the felony of sleep.And knowing, always, in the pink-white wonder of your gut -If you look too long, they can mean only -A head full of whisky, and a half-crazed heart.

Each piece is a layered exploration of texture: hand-painted elements, cyanotype processes, and painted surfaces on wood are combined to build a richly tactile finish. The characters are named simply after the colour of their hair — a quiet, playful gesture that leaves space for the viewer's imagination.

Each piece is made to order with a min 10 days production time, framing approx 10-14 days. Durning these times of changing tariffs and rules, prints are sent at owners risk of extra taxes outside the UK. Unframed prints come in a cardboard tube, special delivery signed for.
