Victima - vitella - little calf - flayed skin shading a lamp:   ilumination.

'Victima', Latin for a beast for sacrifice, is the origin of the English word victim. The image ia a morphing of calfkin vellum with human skin. The striking text is from 'The Getting of Vellum', a book by Catherine Byron which was partially inspired by my work.  The hole in the top left of the skin, deriving from a not uncommon manufacturing flaw, helps to add a visual reference to an artists palette. It also can be seen as a sun/moon image in a body as landscape metaphor.

ABOUT THE ARCHIVAL MEDIA
Printed from an Epson 3800 using Epson’s 9-color UltraChrome ink system at 2880 x 1440 dpi on Epson acid free watercolor paper, a combination to ensure long lasting quality. Wilhelm Imaging Research (www.wilhelm-research.com), suggest prints using this combination of ink and media will last for over 90 years without appreciable fading , based on indoor display framed under glass. Dark Storage Stability Rating at 73°F/50%RH is indicated to last over 200 years. The detail is super fine at this resolution, being almost 10 times finer than normal commercial printing, so that even under a magnifying glass the prints hold up to very close scrutiny.
