| Hand
printed, from a printing plate made from linoleum. The
"white" areas are carved away. This is a type of relief
printing; printing from the surface of a plate or block. The
ink is rolled on to the surface of the linoleum. The paper &
linoleum block are placed on the bed of my etching press. Rolling
the plate & paper through my press produces a print. The
pressure from the press transfers the ink from the linoleum to the
paper. The linoleum block must be re-inked for each print. I
hand color some prints in the edition using water colors, others are
left in traditional black & white. I print, sign and number
each print in the edition. A certificate of authenticity
accompanies each of my prints. |
