This series of works include Woodcuts and Lino prints. Sometimes the two media are combined. I use the reduction block process which means that with each new colour added to the print a bit more of the block is taken away. To achieve a good range of colours multiple blocks are employed, but each of these must be carefully registered with each other, so that the colours fall into the correct place, like the pieces of a puzzle.
I prefer to print the woodcuts by hand using Japanese Gampi paper and a Baren, rather than a press. For the Lino prints I use an Albion press which makes the editioning run smoothly.
