Content: This collagraph print is from an edition of 40, commissioned by Debra and Neil Confrey as an image for their personal and business Christmas card in 2003. Sean Harris is a talented printmaker who is much engaged with Welsh myth and folklore, particularly the New Year tradition of the Mari Llwyd. This print mixes that tradition with the old custom of Hunting the Wren, to dramatic effect.
