The Tower is a giclée printed reproduction of an original paper collage by Cally Conway.
"Titled after the the Tarot card, and The Tower of Babel. I was inspired by the idea of hands representing speech, communication, connection, with the powerful sun, the giver of life at the centre. The firey comets though beautiful, create a force; the sense that the structure can be toppled in flames."
The original collage has been made Cally's original lino prints which she has cut out with a scalpel and rearranged into a new composition.

A lover of the natural world, Cally's prints are inspired by nature and folklore. She is based in London, but is constantly drawn to the beauty of nature and its place within the world. She began producing etchings and collagraphs at art college, and came to linocut printmaking much later. She really fell in love with the process of linocut; something about the carved line as a way to translate her sketches, and to explore pattern and texture.
