'Ritual Robe Test' - Sacred Red Ochre ink on cotton (Karen Hansen, 2024) (Framed)

Karen Hansen 'Ritual Robe Test ' (2024) 165x220x30 mm

This is the first Magical Ink I made with prayer and ritual from the ancient blood of the earth - Kokowai / Red Ochre. 

I wanted to see how the ink would hold detail, with the future concept of handpainting a cowled kimono, with sleeves like pennant drops, made of upcycled cotton tablecloths.

Matted and Framed (Deep Set).

All Karen's latest works are co-creations with Spirit and Nature Beings, which continue their conversations with the viewer long after they come into physical being.
