Reduction Linocut
55x38cm print area 
Printed on Shoji 48gsm paper
 
This is a detail area taken from Dawn Sentinels.  I always print more than I intend the final edition to number with reduction linocuts - as soon as you cut away more of the lino you can't go back, therefore it is important to make extra prints to allow for experimentation with both colour and shape as the print is made.  There are also always a couple that have accidents - something doesn't align properly, a crease happened etc. so for an edition of 10 I tend to start with 16 blank pieces of paper.
 
There are two of these detail areas which come from the slightly-less-than-perfect prints but are still beautiful in their own right.
 
One has slightly more orange in the sky so you can select the one you prefer.
