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 #3 print is created from a photo of leaved grass during a summer day at Kastellet in Copenhagen. The close up photo has taken around 10 hours to carve, at is printed in two colours to capture the depth of the grassy lawns.
