Artwork description:

Patterns have always played an integral part in my work. I love the almost mesmeric power a pattern can induce and the idea that the symbols within the patterns have hidden meanings turns the whole piece into something much more significant than solely a piece of decorative art.
I have used many different blocks to create this Suzani inspired linocut print. It will be a very limited edition of only 15 and each one will be unique as I continue to experiment with symbols and colours.
Please be aware that as I hand print each piece that there are textural anomalies which are due to the method I use when printing the blocks. I love these marks, they are proof of the handmade quality of the craft!

Materials used:

Somerset satin 250gsm and oil based ink
