This print was created using caustic soda to etch the lino alongside traditional cutting.  Plants gathered in the forest were dipped in caustic soda and pressed onto the lino for some layers, for others it was painted around them to create a positive rather than a negative.  The aim of this print was to capture the textural richness of the forest floor. 
 
My prints are all made by hand, each layer of each print is individually inked and pressed therefore there are individual variations within each edition.  Every print is a unique and original work of art.
