Linocutting Work

Linocutting is a relief printmaking technique where an image is carved into a sheet of linoleum using specialized carving tools. The raised, uncarved surface is then hand-rolled with ink and pressed onto paper. Because each print is pulled individually, slight variations make every impression unique.

Sometimes I create my own paper, as well as importing papers such as lokta, mulberry bark and kozo to create my work.

CREATION PROCESS

Paper making

My handmade sheets of paper are created outside in the Arizona sun. They’re composed of shredded mail, utility bills, plant life and imported Mulberry bark.

My new mold & deckle for papermaking is also handmade! Created from unneeded canvas frames, plus some window mesh, I have found a way to create custom sizes.

SUSTAINABILITY PROJECT

To match my handmade paper, I realized my next step was creating ink from scratch to use in my prints.

Recreating the desert around me with all natural and recycled materials has created one-of-a-kind prints.
