God الله – woodblock print

This design is the word Allah, which is Arabic for God regardless of religious denomination. Al-lâh is a contraction of al-ilâh, "the Divinity", the earliest known use of which dates back to Christian communities in pre-Islamic times.

(An edition of this print is in the British Library's Special Collections, and was exhibited among the Treasures of the British Library in 2024!)

Printed on a handmade jig, in a meditative repetition of inking and pressing, each image is imperfect and unique, some more distressed than others.

Details:

• Water-based inks on Zerkall paper (145 gsm, soft white).

• Sold matted, size 25x25 cm (print size 24x24cm).
