Artwork description:

UNFRAMED VERSION: An original, handmade wood engraving. A Grade II* listed parish church in the English county of Berkshire.

Actual image size is 10x8cm; hand-printed on a larger sheet of paper to allow for mounting and framing. FRAMED prints from this edition are also available via Artfinder.

Wood engraving is a traditional form of fine art printmaking. The artist uses specialised tools to create the image in relief (and reverse) on the end grain of a block of hardwood - usually boxwood - by removing the 'white' parts of the image. This technique is painstaking and highly technical, and allows for the creation of exquisitely detailed works. Rebecca's wood engravings have been exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, with the Society of Wood Engravers, and in galleries across the world from Japan to the USA.
