Ovo -the hatching dragon

I have just added another linocut to my Etsy shop, part of the series made for the Print Day in May.
"Ovo" is a baby dragon ready to hatch. It can be interpreted alchemically (as symbol for the transformation of matter) or philosophically (as the ouroboros, the snake biting its own tail, symbol cyclical time). Or you might imagine I am in fact working in Harry Potter's Transylvania, with plenty of dragons around to inspire me :)
