Artwork description:

- or "The Physical Impossibility Of Life While I'm Stuck In This Box"

Conceptual modern art, the legacy of the YBAs, the role of money in the international art world, and the very definitions of art and even life itself... This work encapsulates a universe of subjects into its miniature dimensions and microscopic scope.

Note: actual image size is 40x40mm. It is hand-printed on a larger sheet of Zerkall to allow for mounting and framing. Framed prints from the edition are also available via Artfinder.

Wood engraving is a traditional form of fine art printmaking. The artist uses specialised tools to create the image in relief (and reverse) on the end grain of a block of hardwood - usually boxwood - by removing the 'white' parts of the image. This technique is painstaking and highly technical, and allows for the creation of exquisitely detailed works. Rebecca's wood engravings have been exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, with the Society of Wood Engravers, and in galleries across the world from Japan to the USA.
