About this artwork
This print utilises a font designed by Alex which creates letters based on the silhouetted forms of Nordmann spruce trees. The character of the norse god Thor has been sampled in a vignette from the painting - Thor Fighting with the Giants, 1872 (oil on canvas) by Marten Eskil Winge. Thor is encapsulated in a pine tree which symbolically links him to the creation of blasted tree forms due to the striking of lightning. In Norse mythology, Thor is…
a hammer-wielding god associated with lightning, thunder, storms, sacred groves and trees, strength, the protection of mankind, hallowing, and fertility. Besides Old Norse Þórr, the deity occurs in Old English as Þunor, in Old Frisian as Thuner, in Old Saxon as Thunar, and in Old High German as Donar, all ultimately stemming from the Proto-Germanic theonymÞunraz, meaning 'Thunder'. Thor is a prominently mentioned god throughout the recorded history of the Germanic peoples.
