Well, here they are! I really enjoyed doing these relatively quick two block prints as it is something I don’t usually do. I say relatively quick because it can take weeks to do my reduction prints and these took a lot less time than that. And they dried in no time too. I am going to do one with them both together, when, or if, I can get them to be still enough to draw or photograph…..
'Printmaker Nancy Power's work reflects the life around her. Be it a changing rural landscape, the decaying plants in her garden, or her collection of hand crafted ceramics, she finds inspiration from many sources.
Deliberately eclectic in subject matter, her work is harmonised by her colour palette and distinctive inking process.
Nancy uses the reduction method of lino printmaking; carving away at just one block for each consecutive colour to reveal the final image. By inking from dark to light, as opposed to the more traditional light to dark, Nancy's work has engaging depth and colour layering.'

the backgrounds set them off beautifully and the burnt orange tones are ideal – love them!
