BIG BAMBOO

Original Linocut Relief Print issued June 2024

Image size 11" high by 8.2" wide
(Low resolution image illustrated)


I went for a walk in Stanley Park and wandered into the rhododendron garden. In the middle of it was a stand of giant bamboo, perhaps 20 or 30 feet tall. I took a number of photographs, thinking that there might be a good linocut image. Cutting the block went quite quickly, and the image is easy to print. The five main bamboo stalks are hand-embossed into the damp print paper after the impression is taken out of the press. The edition is printed on Arches Text Wove paper 120 gsm. All impressions were hand printed by the artist with Caligo Safe Wash Furnace Carbon Black relief printing ink, using an antique J. Smart copy press. All prints are titled, editioned, signed and dated by the artist in pencil, and monogrammed in the plate.
