Austere • Linocut paper print
This is my first linocut, back in the autumn of 2011.
It is still one of my favourites, due to its strong simplicity.
It represents the lunar cycle that governs every earthly motion, and a stylised forest.
It is the memory, the desire for a simple, austere life, full of meaning in everyday life.
This print measuring 34,5x23,5 cm circa, and is printed with plant-based ink Favini Materica 230g fine art paper.
All prints in this limited edition are handmade and handpulled on a press, and each print is signed and numbered. This a limited edition of 16 prints.
Due to the slightly structured texture of the paper, this print is a bit difficult to print, and is likely to have a bit of "lino noise" and slight variations. This is not to be considered a flaw, but is inherent to the handmade nature of the artwork and process, and a welcome reference to the particular tradition of printing it stems from.
You can choose the version with a black wooden 1970's frame without glass, or simply the print.
