Artwork description:

clear blue sky, ice cold water, winter bathers paradise.
A linocut reduction means that I start by cutting away what I want to be white areas, I then roll up in the first color and all prints in the short edition of 10 prints, go through the press, for each print I have to ink up the plate again, I then cut away what I want to remain in that color, print all the prints and so on and on until the last color, all the time cutting away means I am left with the bare bones, which is why linocut reductions are also known as "lost plate". Original prints are called original prints, because each print is made by me, rolled up in each color by me, a totally handmade process.

Winter bathers is printed in an edition of 10 prints, and I sign, title and number each print, please note you might not receive the number in the photo.

The heavy weight white printmaking paper measures 50 cm x 40 cm (19.75" x 15.75")
and the actual printed area measures 40 cm x 30 cm (15.75" x 11.75")
