Unquiet Arcadian makes prints which explore folklore, esoteric objects and forgotten histories.
With a range of linocut, screenprint and letterpress limited editions, works for sale also include handmade cards, calendars and zines, an exclusive range of Tarot, Oracle and Lenormand card decks and a collection of handprinted ceramics.
Jennie Syson, who runs the studio, studied at Norwich School of Art and The Royal College of Art and is currently a member of Leicester Print Workshop. She is also an associate member of Two Queens Studios. Recent editions feature green men, goddesses and creatures from medieval bestiaries. Last year she was selected for the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition.
During the pandemic, she edited and produced The Mark, a zine of writers and artists to support the upkeep of Creswell Crags, a paleolithic site in Nottinghamshire. She also occasionally illustrates for Hellebore, a small press magazine devoted to British folk horror and the occult. The Commonplace Tarot & Oracle decks and Latimer's Lenormand are Kickstarter funded print projects created in 2019, 2021 and 2022 respectively. All three decks have been created from linocuts drawing upon original personal artwork and photographs, object based ephemera, folklore and found phenomena.
