Where earlier versions of this print were screen printed with minimal colour — built on negative space, and edited for effect — this one is drawn in pencil and pen, with the flowers painted by brush for contrast and lightness. The blooms may have finished, but they haven't disappeared; they are just dormant, waiting for the next season. \u003cbr\u003eThe full colour background adds depth and drama. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eThe print\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e is produced using digital printing with eco-friendly, water-based pigments and dyes, on Ali Davies' linen.

In Māori tradition, the ancient tree at Cape Reinga marks the place of leaving — where spirits of the deceased begin their journey. Pōhutukawa is the star in the Matariki cluster (also known as the Pleiades), connected to those who have passed away and depending on its visibility or brightness, to those who are yet to pass. It blooms brilliantly in summer and is a constant companion throughout the rest of the year. It grows and flourishes in harsh, rocky, coastal conditions. A symbol of endurance — and for Ali, a design that mirrors that: beginning, ending, beginning again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eThese tea towels are produced in very small quantities, are not available for wholesale, and are sold exclusively here at Ali Davies Home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eProduct details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e Size: 50×70cm Material: 100% linen, 210gsm Print: Digital, eco-friendly water-based pigments and dyes Made in India for Ali Davies.
