Peace dream

"Peace dream" - an original handprinted wood engraving, made while reflecting on the turbulent state of the world we live in. 

 

Wood engraving is a form of relief printmaking. The image is engraved with very sharp finely-pointed tools into a mirror- smooth surface of an endgrain block (in this case - lemonwood). The surface is then inked up and the image is printed onto paper. I first use an antique book press to print my wood engravings and then hand-burnish each of the prints with a teaspoon to get a crisper print.

Handprinted in highly-pigmented oil-based ink in Carbon Black on smooth Zerkall  paper.

You can choose between  an  unmounted print or mounted  with an acid-free backboard and double mount ready to fit a standard 8x8" frame. The mount is affixed with paper "hinges" and can be removed if needed.

Image size 5x7cm. Titled, numbered and signed in pencil.

 

A limited edition of 100.

Because the image is inked and printed by hand, there may be slight variations in tone.

Will be shipped flat, carefully wrapped in acid-free tissue, sandwitched between 2 sturdy boards and packaged in a protective envelop to ensure safe delivery. Comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Sold unframed.
