Late Winter Moss (on a Rainy Day) (2013) Linocut by Alexandra Buckle

A reduction linocut of bright green winter mosses growing on the woodland floor and up the trunks of the trees. The recent rain had made the trees brighter in colour and the moss appear to glow. This linocut has eight layers of colour all printed on top of each other.

A reduction print is a relief print formed with layers of colour that are cut and printed from the same block, in this case, from lino. This is one of a small edition of prints, all of which are printed by hand so small variations occur between them making each one truly original.

This work is printed with water-based, light-fast inks on Somerset Satin paper and has a beautiful matt finish. It is numbered, titled and signed at the bottom, mounted in a neutral colour and wrapped in cellophane to keep it clean. The mounted work will fit straight into a standard off-the-shelf 8x10inch frame.

This artwork will be packaged in a bubble envelope with plenty of card support for safety.
