The sentinel, is a beautiful mangrove tree growing in the tidal zone along Weinham Creek in Redland Bay. This magnificent tree, with its bone white roots lodged firmly in the soil, reminded me of a protector. It protects our coast from tides and waves, it protects the creatures that dwell on the coast, and it signals the health of the ecosystem it presides over.
Mangroves - Subtropical Transition and Large Sand Islands
Curtis Island to Currumbin Creek on the Gold Coast - 16 local catchment areas, span humid subtropical areas with meso tides. Brisbane River in Moreton Bay includes 6 species, although just two dominate, namely Avicennia marina generally, and Aegiceras corniculatum in upstream reaches. The region has 14 mangroves, with a total mangrove area of ~533 km2.
Origins of Linocut
Although linoleum is a floor covering that dates to the 1860s, the linocut printing technique was used first by the artists of Die Brücke in Germany between 1905 and 1913, where it had been similarly used for wallpaper printing.
A Linocut is a relief print (like a woodcut), the image is carved from a block of Linoleum. Areas are carved or cut away from the block, what remains will print when the inked roller is passed over the top of the block and paper is laid on the block to take an impression by hand or through a press.
The original image took me 8 full days to cut!
This giclee will be unframed and the image just over 30x30cm with an edge to allow for easy framing.
The pictures frame is a 50x50cm Virserum frame from IKEA.
