Artwork description
Into the Blue is a quiet celebration of colour, rhythm, and stillness. Layers of deep blues and soft violets drift across the surface, echoing the gentle sway of flowers caught in a moment of calm. There’s a sense of immersion here — as if stepping into a shaded corner of nature where time slows and the noise of the day fades away.
This piece is about letting your eye wander. The repetition of form creates a soothing pattern, while subtle variations in tone and mark-making invite you to look closer, rewarding that pause with depth and texture. Dark, inky backgrounds allow the blues to glow, giving the print a feeling of dusk, cool air, and quiet reflection.
Into the Blue is made for spaces that need a breath — a place to rest your gaze, soften the room, and bring a sense of calm into everyday life. Perfect for those drawn to nature, colour, and artwork that’s felt as much as it’s seen.
A reduction linocut is a very special kind of hand-printed artwork. Instead of using a separate block for each colour, the entire print is created from just one piece of lino. I carve and print it in layers: first the lightest colours, then gradually adding darker tones, cutting more of the block away each time.
With every stage, the design slowly reveals itself, and by the end only the final darkest details remain. Because the lino is cut down as I go, the block can never be used again. This means every edition is truly limited—once the prints are finished, no more can ever be made.
Each piece is the result of careful planning, patience, and a little bit of magic as the layers come together. Owning a reduction linocut means owning something completely unique, with its own handmade character in every print.
