Description

This is the second print I’ve created inspired by this small, wooded area called Grenadiers Plantation.  I walk this way most days with my dog Lola. I love the way the light changes as it filters through the trees at different times of the day and year.

This original reduction linocut is from a limited edition of 20. The reduction method (my favourite technique) uses a single piece of lino to produce a multi-coloured print. The lino is gradually cut away as each layer is printed and the image emerges. Sometimes, only a very small printable area remains for the final, darkest tone. As the block is essentially destroyed during the process, a reduction print can never be reprinted.

Print size 180 x 265mm. Hand printed on Somerset Satin 250g paper using a small relief press. Due to the nature of the printmaking process minor variations can occur between prints, making each one a truly unique piece of artwork. Each print is numbered, titled and signed at the bottom and mounted in a neutral colour to fit a standard 12 x 16″ frame.  The artwork will be shipped flat protected by strong cardboard packaging and sent by tracked mail.
