Icon – Beaver Diptych

Icon diptych pays homage to the beaver, historically central to Canada’s economic development, this industrious creature now plays a crucial role in ecosystem restoration.

Influenced by her printmaking background Sabina utilizes fine art reproduction technology to reference a hand-pulled relief print of the beaver. Icon’s blocks of colour suggest the traditional chine-colle process, where fine Japanese paper is applied to create depth, texture embedded in the surface of the prints.
