Artwork description:

A linocut inspired by the local fishing fleet here in Hastings, in East Sussex.

The original harbour here at Hastings was lost hundreds of years ago as the shoreline changed, so the boats are pulled up above the high tide mark by their own winches. The linocut shows some of the crew jumping off the boat to attach a line to their winch. If you visit Hastings, you can see the flat-roofed small winch houses at the top of the beach near the East Hill Lift.

This is a hand-pulled linocut in water-based inks in an edition of 50. The image size is just under A4 size (28cm by 18m). It is printed on acid-free paper and signed by me. The paper is slightly larger than the image to enable you to frame the image with a standard-sized mount.

Each print in the edition is inked up and pressed individually, resulting in some slight differences between each print - making each one a unique work of art.

I send smaller prints wrapped in cellophane in a reinforced envelope or parcel. Larger prints may be sent rolled in a tube with protective tissue.

Materials used:

water-based printing inks, colour, lino
