Artwork description:

An original reduction linocut showing the skeleton of a parrot crossbill.

The reduction print is made by carving and printing the same linoleum block three times. The process is irreversible, which is why a reduction print is also called a suicide print.

I made a video of the print being made; you can find it on Youtube if you search "Crossbill linocut".

Materials used:

oil-based relief ink, hosho paper
