An Original Linocut Print of Egyptian Goddess Nuit, made in the Reduction Method. 
Handprinted by myself at my home studio in the Northeast of England, so everyone is slightly different and unique.
Goddess Nut/Nuit is an Egyptian Goddess of the sky and all heavenly bodies. It was believed that all celestial beings including the sun and moon would make their way across her body during the day.  She represents death and rebirth and the beautiful cycle of life. She looks over and protects your loved ones who have passed. This piece was created for a dear friend and I offer her to the world to give a sense of peace and beauty in the remembrance of those we have lost.
The process of a linocut 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 Goddess Nuit is of only 12 prints. Each print is numbered and signed for authenticity and comes with a descriptive note about the mythology of the design.
Handprinted on beautiful thick Somerset velvet paper 300gsm with Caligo Safewash Inks. 
This print is approximately 18cmx25cm , the paper size is approximately 30x40
