Woodcut


Art school has given me opportunities to experiment with different print techniques and I have particularly enjoyed woodcut. 

This embossment (click to enlarge) was made into dampened paper on the Alexandra Press. The impression is taken from a woodcut made in an off-cut of oak tongue-and-groove board. Based on one of my 2012 Canterbury walk drawings, it depicts some Primroses growing on a verge. The text just visible at the bottom indicates that a Skylark was singing above me as I drew.
