The ancient motif of the Green Man can be found in carvings, on church walls, in books and on pub signs. This original interpretation stays true to the classic elements of the Green Man: a face emerging from - yet inseparably intertwined with - leafy foliage.
Note: actual image size is 10x7cm; hand-printed on a larger sheet of paper with generous margins to allow for mounting and framing.
Wood engraving is a form of fine art printmaking. The artist uses specialised tools to create the image in relief (and reverse) on the end grain of a block of hardwood - usually boxwood - by removing the 'white' parts of the image. This technique is painstaking and highly technical, and allows for the creation of exquisitely detailed works. Rebecca's wood engravings have been exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, with the Society of Wood Engravers, and in galleries across the world from Japan to the USA.
