This linocut print is about the unknown and unseen. There have been times where I’ve felt other forces are at work, a sixth sense, our human brains are imaginative and we can’t know everything, our curiosity sparks our imagination. After spending many years in Papua New Guinea where spirits are a part of their culture it heightens my awareness of this. Who and what is among us and if at all.
The style of this print was inspired by early British relief printmaking from the mid - fifties, Picasso’s linocut prints and tribal art. Playing with abstraction made this a fun printmaking process.
PS: This is original artwork and therefore there may be some very slight differences in print colour and application, I have selected 3 of the very best prints from a a print run of 6.
This print is made with water based printmaking inks on very fine Japanese mulberry paper.
