Elspeth Lamb created this print as part of a unique series of lithographs using traditional limestone combined with digital imaging techniques whilst working with printmaker Jonathan Jones in our workshop. The suite of prints, entitled 'Nagasawa Cantrips', was inspired by Elspeth's four week residency in Japan, whilst studying the Japanese art of paper making. The title uses old lowland Scots language with 'cantrips' meaning 'a magical spell of any kind'. The resulting images seem to combine frivolity with seriousness, candour with hidden meaning and sensitivity with bluntness.
