Artwork description:

Evening Walk is one of a suite of linocut prints exploring the activity of dogwalking in suburbia. In this series I use the process of relief printing to record the bond between humans and animals in an everyday environment.

I spend lots of time walking my local streets exercising our dog and this activity provides the inspiration for my art work, which starts with a simple line drawing recalling incidents on route from memory.

The bold graphic effect is achieved by using a number of linoleum blocks and opaque and transparent colour inks.

I transfer my drawing onto the linoleum with red carbon paper and carve into the surface intuitively with sharp lino cutting tools.

A unique handmade print using a traditional Albion platen press to transfer the image from linoleum onto smooth Fabriano 200gsm acid free paper.
