Artwork description:

FRAMED VERSION: One of three wood engravings Rebecca created especially for a protest exhibition staged in Walthamstow, London. The show was responding to the proposed felling of 81 trees, including many from the Lime Tree Walk, to make way for the planned re-development of Walthamstow Town Square.

A print from the edition: mounted, framed and glazed. UNFRAMED prints are also available via Artfinder.

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.

Materials used:

Wood engraving, ink on paper
