"Leap of Faith"
This is an original handmade linocut print, part six of the twelve part series that i will be creating over the year of '22-'23, exploring the Gower Peninsula. The piece is depicting a barn owl in flight amongst a sky of stars and crescent moon, relieved in black traditional oil based ink.
This print is hand relieved from a hand-carved linoleum block. This process starts by carving a design in reverse with carving knives onto a lino block, I then very finely ink the block with a roller and then, using an Etching press I relieve the image onto the paper.
The paper is medium-weight premium quality Royal white Somerset printmaking paper. It is acid-free and archival. this means that is it 'long life' standard therefore giving the assurance of excellent conservation over time. Linocut printing is a traditional process where the paper picks up some of the stray marks (or "chatter") left intentionally on the block.
this print comes unframed, signed and posted in eco friendly packaging, every print pull is slightly different and will produce different textures and this is what i adore about relief printmaking
