Artwork description:

This is an original handmade linocut, part of my ongoing series of works documenting my time in Vietnam.
This work shows fishing boats along the shoreline, under a dramatic sky, with the sea opposite. The piece is kind of a semi-abstract, mish-mash of lines, shapes and space. I have glued different materials to the surface of the linoleum to create more unusual textures in the print. Fruit netting has been used to mimic an actual fishing net in the right foreground. Sandpaper echoes not only the sand of the beach, but lends a graininess to the image, similar to an old black and white photograph - to me, this expresses the timeless quality of the shoreline and old boats of this area.

The artwork is printed on high quality 300gsm printmaking paper.

Your print will come wrapped in protective tissue paper to reach you in the best condition.

If you have any questions relating to the work before purchase please don't hesitate to ask me.

linoleum, printmaking ink, carving tools, fruit netting, sandpaper
