This linocut print draws together my love of nature, history and the surreal. It features a creature (based on the very cool Oarfish), overseeing its young, while its body envelopes the landscape- representing 'mother nature'. The landscape features everything from volcanoes to ancient statues, and aeroplanes to serpents. The carving itself took around sixty hours to complete and it was a lot of fun putting together this print. Size: Image measures approx 28x36cm and the paper approx measures 52x40cm. Each print is hand pressed using a small spoon. There may be some slight variations in ink tone due to this. This is a limited edition of 100, with each print titled, signed and numbered.
Paper: This is printed on gorgeous soft-white 30gsm Mitsumata paper. Ink: I use Cranfield Safewash oil-based ink. This quality ink is lightfast and has a high pigment content. The colours are bright and it’s a joy to use. Packaging: Your print will be carefully rolled, wrapped in glassine paper and held together to avoid it unravelling. It will then be posted in a sturdy cardboard tube to protect it against any bumps along the way. Please consider reusing the tube to reduce waste. Cheers!
