" Early Spring " Mountains Relief Print

 " Early Spring" Mountains Relief Print  Artist: Ginny Madsen 7.0" wide  x 5.0 " high  relief print size Matted in   1.75" marbled tan mat Print # 10/10 - 2022 From the artist: Early Spring       In this print I was specifically simplifying the complexities of rock faces and forest using large shapes and linear marks. It is interesting to play with what illusions can be made with the marks carving tools will create.   From the Artist: "These works are creased using a traditional relief block printing method. I carve my design into the block's surface, one block for each color or I may a subtractive method using a single block. Each color is them inked and printed separately to develop the completed image. Each image is printed by hand using a press. Editions often limited to 6-10 copies. My imagery  usually develops from my observations of the laces and things I see." LP
