Artwork description:

Developed in Japan during the 1980s, Shinrin-yoku is the practice of ‘forest bathing’ and involves spending time in the forest stretching, meditating, inhaling tree aromas and generally appreciating the forest!

This is an original multi-block linocut print, using two rotated blocks and variable inking to create the image. There are three versions of this limited variable edition print and 30 prints of each version.

All my prints are printed on good quality printmaking papers (my current favourites are Zerkall and Fabriano) with Caligo relief printing inks. This Shinrin-Yoku print is printed on Zerkall extra smooth printing paper, 145gsm, using Caligo safe wash ink. The image size 31cm x 41cm, paper size is approx 40cm x 50cm which gives a generous margin to allow for framing.

My linocuts are handmade from start to finish - hand carved, inked and handprinted, and as such they will have small variations between prints - making each print into a unique artwork.

If you have any questions, please just get in touch and thanks for taking a look!

Materials used:

Zerkall extra smooth printing paper, 145gsm. Caligo safe wash ink.
