LINO
“The Depths of Motherhood” is an original linocut relief print depicting a mother whale and her calf. It is an expression and appreciation of the feelings of freedom of open water and wild swimming and the relationship between a parent and their young.
This print is lovingly created using a hand-carved linocut block, carved from either Japanese or battleship linoleum. Once inked with oil-based colors, it’s pressed onto heavyweight, 280 gsm premium paper that’s 60% cotton, acid-free, and built to last. The traditional linocut technique leaves charming stray marks—called “chatter”—adding character to each piece. Delivered unframed, signed, and wrapped in eco-friendly packaging, each print is made to order. Since the inks are hand-mixed, the blue hue and drying time vary, so the colors may not match the photos exactly, but that’s part of its handmade charm!
