Autunno • Linocut black paper print

The Larch matrix belongs to the Seasonal Hints project, where 4 essences for 4 seasons are represented.
The larch has always been my favourite tree; it is associated with the Sun and Saturn, two seemingly opposite but very similar sages.
Its autumn beauty, the blazing yellow that stands out in the mist of a November day; in many cultures it symbolises knowing how to find happiness and purity (sun) in essential things (Saturn), whether external or internal.

This print measuring 39x31 cm circa, and is printed with plant-based ink on 100g Hahnemühle - Durer Ingres 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 10 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.
