A handmade original collagraph and linocut print by artist Lisa Benson.

The power of nature rising up from the earth, reaching towards the sun in a blaze of the most beautiful greens. The collagraph element celebrates the greens in their varied forms whilst the dark structure represented by the linocut acknowledges the shadows and structures they rise up from.

Limited variable edition of 14 prints. This is print number 8/14 of the edition.

Actual print size approx 26.6 x 35cm
Paper size approx 37 x 49cm

Uprising is a combination print of two different types of print. A collagraph print is printed on the first pass through the press and then a linocut print is printed on top.
The collagraph plate is made by creating various textures on a cardboard plate. The finished plate is then inked intaglio and printed onto damp paper. The lino layer is one piece of lino that has been carved, inked and printed.

The inks used for this print are Akua intaglio inks for the collagraph layer and Caligo Safewash ink for the linocut layer.
The paper is Somerset Satin 250gsm printmaking paper.

Although all care is taken to represent the prints as well as possible in the photographs, colours may appear slightly differently on screen to the actual print.

Delivery
