This lino print is inspired by the pigment in this piece, Paper Tiger. Its a pigment created by Thomas Little @a.rural.pen on instagram. He wrote "Paper Tiger is a blend of synthesized yellow iron oxide derived from an early 20th century shotgun manufactured by the crescent firearms company, and iron rich sandstone from the Cohaire River basin. I named it Paper Tiger for its tawny hue and its nod to the metaphor. In transmuting the weapon to golden dust and symbolically returning it to the earth, the threat of violence becomes nullified. The tiger loses his teeth and claws, and becomes just a shade, a suggestion of itself."
I was inspired to create this when I read this. Though not a shotgun like the pigment, a pistol is more widely owned in the United States. I chose a chrysanthemum because it has many meanings throughout the world I think they all fit the metaphor of the pigment.
