Carla’s arresting Humpty Dumpty is a two-faced egg adorned with decorative botanicals. Her portrait recalls the magic, charm, and unease of Alice’s encounter with Humpty who does not realize he is a character in a children’s nursery rhyme and is surprised that Alice seemingly knows all about him. While we never see Humpty fall, we're all too familiar with the rest of the nursery rhyme and his precarious position on the wall.
With a strong mottled texture and warm base tone, we’ve sourced a Hahnemühle German Etching paper that creates a print with strong colors and deep blacks to give that rich, high in contrast feel. Since the pronounced texture of the paper enables it to hold more ink, this paper gives each print a handmade crafted feel.
Prints are shipped flat in a protective parchment sleeve in between two sheets of stiff cardboard to keep prints flat in transit. If the artwork is damaged in any way during shipping, please contact us right away with photographs documenting any such damages. We will seek to address the damage to customer satisfaction on a case by case basis.
