Triquetra Sugar Maple (block print), 2019
Original: Ink on washi, 12x16"
High quality digital prints. Open edition, non-archival.

Sugar maple (Acer saccharum) leaf with Triquetra knot.
The triple-knot is a common symbol in Celtic and Nordic/Viking art. It represents concepts associated with the number three: Triple Goddess, Three Fates, Holy Trinity, and many more. I used it to represent the three main Celtic Nations represented in Vermont: Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Sugar maple is, of course, the best source of sap for producing syrup. Abenaki people in Vermont have been making Maple Syrup for centuries. -RG
