Description

ANAM CARA. Soulmate A4

The title means ‘Soulmate’ in Gaelic.
Pronounced ‘aun-im-KAHR-ah’

Designed and signed by Jim Fitzpatrick and hand-enhanced by Suzanne FitzPatrick. Limited edition of 25, after the 25 have sold out this will be a signed unnumbered open-edition print. Size: A4 8″x11″ on pearlescent paper.

The title was inspired by the book of the same name, from 1997, by Irish writer and mystic John O’Donohue:
‘Anam Cara: A book of Celtic Wisdom’.
It was the saintly Brigit of Kildare who said: ‘To be without a soulmate is like to be a body without a head’.

The three-legged Triskele symbolizes the rotational symmetry of the Triple Spiral representing the spirals of the heavens, the eternal wheels within wheels spinning the stars and giving us life. I feel a strong connection to this symbol which has been carved into the wood and rock in Ireland for countless thousands of years.

The heavens, our souls, and love transcend our routine lives and connect us all in our aspirations. This is as true now as it was thousands of years ago.
