Fortis ut mors dilectio, or Love is as strong as death, is a passage from the Song of Songs. Here, I depict two woodwoses, a man and a woman, holding the ends of a lover’s knot. The woodwose, or wild man of the woods, is a figure from medieval European folklore and literature. Woodwoses appears often in both sacred and secular art, and are frequently associated with both death and eros.
The print is based on my ink drawings. It is about one and a half times larger than the originals.
Dimensions: 8" × 12"
