Somnambulist at the Abbey card, print and framed artwork

from £3.00

DESCRIPTION

I  grew up  opposite  the  magnificent  ruins  of  Whitby  Abbey and used to play there beneath the ancient arches with my brother during the summer  holidays (in  the days  before  it  became  an  enclosed tourist attraction).  In Dracula, the Gothic novel par-excellence which was inspired by Bram Stoker's holidaying in the small port of Whitby, North Yorkshire in the 1890's, the sleeping Lucy is lured to her doom by the vampiric Count who awaits her in the graveyard beyond the ruined walls of the Abbey. It is this haunting and tragic episode that ‘Somnambulist’ draws upon.

'The Somnambulist at the Abbey' exists as an A6 and A5 greetings card, and an A4 print which comes either framed or unframed. Cards come with an envelope and with the A6 print are protected by a recyclable cello bag.

The inside of the card is left blank whilst on the back is the above description of the story behind the image, with a short bio of the artist together with social media links and contact details.

 

PRODUCTION

The prints are from the Copyshop, a part of the Southside Rehabilitation Association (SRA), a business supporting the rehabilitation of those who have struggled with mental health through a catering and printing business. The printers is only 5 minutes from the WhitbyGothic studio. This is important to WhitbyGothic as it lessens the carbon footprint, thus helping to minimise pollution whilst supporting the local community.

Lady Midnight

The inspiration that led to this artwork took place over 10 years ago in 2012 at the annual Whitby Goth Weekend, UK, which as some of you know, is a celebration of all things Gothic in my home town.

One morning, I was walking down Skinner Street when I saw a lady dressed in the most beautiful Victorian dress. I crossed the road, complimented her and asked if I could take her photograph, to which she obliged.

I later translated the image into an artwork entitled 'Paean to Whitby', found here on this site, and it was from this that the greeting card and print took its form.
