This is an original handmade linocut print, Two women lay in the sun in their bathing suits relaxing at the beach. This is part four of the twelve part series exploring The Gower Peninsula, Wales. A coastal region known for its beautiful beaches and the place where I live. The Gower series will be continued throughout 2022 and will depict the people, plants and wildlife of this beautiful place.
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 heavyweight 280 gsm premium quality printmaking paper. It is 60% cotton, 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
This linocut is made to order and the ink takes a few days to dry, My processing time is up to ten working days, this is to allow me time to produce the best work that i can and manage my workload. If you need your order by a specific date please contact me via messages and i will see what i can do.
