'Rising' Tidal Wave Lino Reduction Print with Sunrise background
It is always important to me to use vivid colour that energises you and transforms your rooms into places to be inspired and to reflect.
This modern original reflects the joy of the coast first thing in the morning as the waves rise in that magical way that they do against the backdrop of stunning yellows and oranges as the sun rises. You sit bathed in light and listen to the calming sound of the water as it washes up on the sand, ebbing and flowing and reminding you how big the world is.
Bring this feeling into your home and wash away the worries as you daydream about your next trip to the coast.
The Process
The print was created using the linocut reduction method, which means that I used one block that I carved more away from after each layer. Owing to the nature of this, the print can never be reprinted and that makes it extra special. It also means that any mistakes (i.e. carving too much) runs the whole thing so you have to be confident and careful with the process. There are 6 layers of oil based ink on archival grade paper meaning that the colours will sing for generations to come.
The subtle texture of the cotton and wood pulp mix paper brings a mottled nature to each layer of ink creating additional light and a beautifully crafted quality to the surface of the work.
The intention with all of my work is to bring joy to your walls and for you to have something that you can pass on through future generations.
