Inspiration

Owls have long held a place in art, mythology, and storytelling — appearing across centuries as quiet emblems of wisdom, intuition, and transformation.

They sit between light and dark — watchful, still, and often associated with a deeper kind of knowing.

I’ve been returning to owls again and again in my work, using textiles to explore how they can carry their own meaning and story, adding another layer and texture to these familiar emblems.

Description

The Guardian Owl is printed in charcoal grey on cream linen, with a piece of vintage Indian sari trim appliquéd at the third eye. Lined with block print cotton and adorned with pheasant feathers. Finished with brown satin ribbons.

Style 1 - printed on natural cream linen with gold and pink sari trim

Style 2 - Printed on natural cream linen with with black and gold sari trim.

Materials and Techniques

Each piece is an original Animalesque illustration and design, screen-printed and handmade using a rich combination of surplus theatre materials, vintage sari silks and trims, and Indian block printed cotton and bandhani silks.

Handmade in Cornwall by textile artist Sara Lowes.

Due to the handmade nature of Animalesque creations, there will be slight discrepancies between each piece. Every one is unique.
