Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Wallinger has produced a limited edition print, Thumb Print, to support fund raising for The Line. The artist’s [or Mark Wallinger’s] own thumbprint is framed within the shape of a credit card, that other guarantee of identity. The action of a thumbs up is captured in this work. The lines are reminiscent of the contours of a map, reflecting the unique journey that visitors to The Line experience.
Since its launch in 2015, public support for the The Line has been overwhelming. To keep running The Line, and to expand the project further, we continue to need your support. If you would like to purchase one of these prints (£500 +VAT +postage) please email The Line All proceeds go directly to The Line.
