WHAT IS LINOPRINT? 
Linoprinting is a method of block printing, where the design is carved by hand into a piece of linoleum. When the design has been carved, printmaking ink is rolled onto the linoleum with a brayer. Lastly, the design is transferred to paper either by manually pressing or with a printing press. Linoprinting creates unique artwork, where every print in an edition will be slightly different due to the printing process.

MAKRO
The series is based on the artists macro photography – capturing textures and details of everyday objects and rendering the photos to a final print. From photo to stencil to lino to print, the final product is a true, organic representation of original photographic imagery. The Makro #1 print is created from a photo of crackled bark on a snapped birch tree in a park on the Danish countryside . The image has taken around 22 hours to carve in linoleum to create the print.
