Linocut + Etching

This is my first stab at linocut. The A3 image took a day to cut and I found it quite tricky to get precise prints using the press, but I completely fell for the medium and its bold monochrome marks. I also used my “poptart” collage from the WAES Art Movement project to create samples of photo-etching, with lots of different colours and inks. I loved the delicacy and accuracy of the prints, but I really love linocut for its boldness and simplicity. And I love that I can create prints at home with lino, a linocutter, some ink, paper and a rolling pin!
