IMPRESSIONS 2016

Recently I’ve been working on a linocut for IMPRESSIONS 2016, the biennial fundraiser for the Australian Print Workshop. My print, The Odd-numbered Plait, is a numbered edition of ten. Directly below are a series of progress views of the work, all of them taken in the Ballarat studio. 

I used carbon paper to transfer the image to the block

This was the result

The image was fleshed out with india ink and a touch of acrylic paint, then cutting began

A much later stage of the cutting process

The finished block

During printing some of the background area started to fill in, thus the masking
tape 'bandaids' 

The final print rests on the press bed.
