From Gondwana limited edition linocut signed and numbered Not a gicelle - computer Ed. 2 of 10

Printmaking is my art form of choice for many reasons. I’m drawn to lino printing due to the challenge it presents in working with strong contrasts and a lack of any tone. You are forced to work with simple lines to create bold textures. Lino printing presents other challenges in it being an unforgiving material, as any cuts made to the lino are visible and can not be undone. I'm not interested in a pristine photograph-like image. My goal is to capitalise on the linoleum's texture to develop drama, leaving the cutting gestures visible to show movement and adding vitality to an image.
