Artwork description:

This is a hand pulled linocut print with chine collé, number 4 in a variable edition of 30.

The linocut for this print is inked up using a roller and the collage paper used for the chine collé is placed on the plate before it is run through the press - the bold designs of the paper working in harmony with the subtleties of the ink effects and the image of the figure.

This work is very much inspired by contemporary fashion photography. It is created in response to the images seen in magazines such as ID, AnOther and Vogue and is a celebration of and a reflection on the beauty in each and every one of us.

Materials used:

Linocut print using oil based printmaking inks and hand-made Japanese Chiyogami paper on Somerset 300gsm printmaking paper
