Wrapped in Leaves (2016) Linocut by Ellen Von Wiegand

I'm fascinated both by the endlessly malleable curves and lines of the human body and the beauty of the printed pattern. Here I've taken inspiration from the woodblock prints of Edo period Japan in which figures were often represented in intricately patterned fabrics.

As all prints are hand pressed, each will have some minor differences, which I believe adds to the character of the print. I cannot guarantee that you will receive the edition featured in the photo.
