An Original Linocut Print of Demeter, Greek Goddess. Made with the reduction method and aprrox 30cm x 40cm.
Hand printed by myself at my home studio in the Northeast of England, so everyone is slightly different and unique.
Greek Goddess Demeter is best known in relation to her daughter Persephone. She is the goddess of the harvest and agriculture. After Persephone was kidnapped she became goddess of the seasons as in her joy the world blooms and in her sadness the world around her hibernates. 

The process of a lino print is quite lengthy. I digitally design most of my prints, these are then printed and transferred to a block for carving. Once carved the block is inked and printed to produce the final piece. In a reduction method, the block is carved and inked numerous times to achieve the different colours. This means that this limited edition of prints can never be made again. This edition of Demeter is of only 16 prints. Each print is numbered and signed for authenticity and comes with a descriptive note about the mythology of the design.
 
This artwork is hand printed on beautiful thick somerset velvet paper, with schminke water based ink.

Your print will be carefully wrapped to ensure safe delivery. I am trying to make the move to using post-consumer packaging to be more ecofriendly.
