About the Artwork

This linocut is the result of a labour-intensive printing process. It is unique and one of a kind.

The pink background was printed using hand-mixed oil-based ink. Once dry, which takes several weeks, the first lobster was printed with an orange oil-based ink using a press. The same lobster was printed once again, in a slightly darker red colour. It was deliberately offset to the first lobster and burnished by hand instead of a press. Slightly less detail was intentionally transferred on the second print, allowing the lobster below to be seen. This, combined with the two lobsters being offset, gives an illusion of movement.

The inks used for this print are made with lightfast pigments ground into artist-grade polymerised linseed oil. These inks offer deep, intense colours with a crisp finish.

The paper used is Mulberry, a fine Japanese paper. It is considered vegan since it contains no sizing agent, wet strengthening agent, or aluminium sulphate, and is made of wood pulp.

About Linocutting

Linocut is a traditional printmaking technique where an image is hand-carved into a sheet of linoleum. Ink is applied to the raised surface, and then pressed onto paper to create a bold, graphic impression. Each print is individually hand-pulled, giving it a unique character and subtle variations.

Linocut prints are far more than just images; they are original works of art created entirely by hand. Each design is carefully carved into linoleum, inked, and pressed onto paper, resulting in a print that carries the artist's touch in every detail. Unlike digital prints, which are mechanically reproduced and identical, linocuts offer subtle variations, texture, and depth that give each piece its unique character. Digital prints can be endlessly duplicated at the press of a button, which lowers their uniqueness and collectability.

The physical process, time, and craftsmanship involved add lasting value and authenticity. With their rich, tactile quality and limited-edition nature, linocuts offer something digital simply can't: a sense of soul, imperfection, and connection to the artist's hand.

Art collectors and galleries often place higher value on traditional printmaking methods like linocut because of the skill, craftsmanship, and history behind them. The process itself becomes part of the artist's story.

Linocuts are usually made in limited editions, signed and numbered by the artist. Once the edition is complete, the printing block is typically destroyed or retired. This scarcity increases the artwork's long-term value.
