The Tshomem (Mermaid) protective deity of lakes and rivers. In Bhutan, before disturbing a body of water to build a bridge, a dam, or an irrigation diversion, the Tshomem living there must grant permission, or the project will fail. If she does not grant permission, a sacred dance can be performed to distract the Tshomem while the work is being done. But Tshomem are hard to fool and occasionally trick, then seduce, humans. It is said that these Tshomem consorts can still be found today—mute, and toothless old men, living under bridges.

PHOTO PRINTS
Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.

CANVAS PRINTS
What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.
