Artwork description:

A swoosh of starlings flying over the reedbed at Minsmere in Suffolk!

I am exploring the effects you can get printing from materials we throw away. The sky is made from screwed up Tetrapak in a subtle shade of blue. The rest of the print is multi block lino. I am hoping to bring this element into future work and am very excited to see the results!

All of my prints are original linocuts and are handmade by me. Because they are handmade, prints inevitably have minuscule differences...part of the charm of being made by a person and not a machine!

I use Lawrence oil-based relief printing inks and Zerkall smooth white paper, 145gsm. I use a BlueBoy printing press. There is more information about my studio and other work on my website.

Prints will be sent to you unframed, protected with cellophane in a re-enforced padded envelope on a Special Delivery service with the Post Office.
