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 SERIES:
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 #2 print is created from a photo of dried bark flaking off of a tree under the warm summer sun.
