Memento Mori Hourglass is a hand-printed linocut artwork exploring mortality, time, and the fragility of existence. Featuring a skull suspended inside a traditional hourglass, this image draws on the visual language of memento mori, occult symbolism, and traditional tattoo flash.
The design feels like an artefact from a curiosity cabinet or an old tattooist’s flash wall — bold, symbolic, and timeless. Each print is carved and printed by hand in my studio, giving every impression subtle variations that mark it as a true piece of original printmaking.
Printed in rich black Caligo Safewash ink on archival paper, this piece is ideal for lovers of gothic art, tattoo culture, arcane imagery, and dark symbolic illustration. Whether displayed in a studio, home, or tattoo shop, it stands as a powerful reminder that time is finite — and meaning is what we carve into it.
This is a small-edition print and will not be reproduced in this format once sold out.
Edition of 15
Hand-carved and hand-printed using Caligo Safe Wash oil-based ink
Printed on archival, acid-free cotton paper
Signed, numbered & embossed with the Elucidation Inc. mark
Paper size: approx. A4
Your print is not framed, allowing you to choose something which will fit the unique aesthetic of your home.
As a direct consequence of this extremely analogue way of working, each print may have small variations, depending on the paper, ink, temperature, time of day or pressure when printed and this adds a wonderful quality to each print.
Your print will be lovingly packaged, firstly sealed in cellophane, then wrapped in tissue paper, your print is then layered between cardboard and posted flat or placed in a cardboard tube depending on size, to ensure it arrives with you as perfect as it leaves my studio.
