Artwork description:

This is a linocut that was inspired by the lovely staircase at Libertys in London. I also like the word as it conjures up a 'freedom to go anywhere you want' as the stairs in the print suggest.
I used a variety of lino tools to create the illusion of perspective and printed it using an intaglio press. You can see from the secondary photo that I have to cut the linocut plate in mirror image for it to print the correct way around.

Materials used:

Japanese vinyl, paper and professional oil based printmaking ink
