Milk flower of the snow.
This is an original handmade linocut print, part five of the twelve part series that i will be creating over the year of ’22-’23, exploring the Gower Peninsula. The piece is depicting two sighthounds amongst snowdrops 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 Zerkall 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. – Phillippa Walter
