⋆ GRIM ⋆

Drawing inspiration from various folklore creatures, I created a series of three distinct pyrography pieces.
Since it was my first time working with this medium, I experimented with different styles, wood types, and compositions for each piece. This exploration helped me capture the essence of these mythical beings while giving each artwork its own unique character and texture.

This piece, created on plywood, serves as a redesign of a linocut I did in the past. It depicts a spectral wolf inspired by the church grim, a guardian spirit from folklore believed to protect churchyards from desecration and sacrilege. Traditionally appearing as a Black Dog or wolf, the church grim is also known to take other animal forms. Through this artwork, I aimed to capture the eerie, protective presence of the creature, blending its ominous mythology with a sense of reverence for its role as a silent protector of sacred spaces.
