Original artwork description:

This series of monoprints is a multi block lino print.

It is inspired by the butterfly effect in chaos theory which sounds pretentious I know, but it really just me thinking about that quote about a butterfly fluttering its wings leading ultimately to a tornado. I kept thinking of this while cutting out a large butterfly linocut and decided to do a series of monoprints on this theme.

I have made it in a form of a mandala made from flowers and butterflies. Mandalas originated in the ancient Hindu religion, and are now seen as a "geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically ... it originally meant to represent wholeness and a model for ... life itself, a cosmic diagram that shows the relation to the infinite and the world." ( quote from Wikipedia) This seemed to fit really well with the butterfly effect. Hope you like the result.

This monoprint is printed onto a black, slightly pearlescent effect heavyweight card called Black Russian (290gsm) from Fabriano which is lightfast and has high colour stability in addition to being acid free. The card is quite environmentally friendly, produced without wood and using hydro-power.

Printed onto Fabriano Black Russian (290gsm) paper, using Cranfield gold ink (oil based).

Paper sized : 50 cm x 50 cm

My linocuts are handmade from start to finish, hand carved, rolled and handprinted, as in the nature of linoprints and the handmade process they may have small variations. This I feel is part of the charm of printmaking and makes each print into both a unique artwork.
