Artwork description:

This is a reduction linocut print of a Shaman from the Native American culture. This image forms part of a body of work exploring Lost Generations, exploring the lost cultures from history.

The image is made through the gradual reduction of lino which is cut as each layer of colour is laid onto the paper. The printing medium is composed of oil paint and block printing medium, allowing the artist to control the colours being used.

A small series of these were created during the process. This particular one has writing written on the printing plate on one of the layers, before it was pressed onto the paper.

'I wonder sometimes what our world might have become had the Europeans not arrived in the New World.'

Materials used:

Oil Paint, Block Printing Medium, Printing Paper
