I fell in love with lino carving while studying a certificate of Printmaking in 2003, and I still love working with this medium. The reduction printing method is a laborious and meticulous process where each colour is printed in succession from the same block, which is progressively carved away for each layer. Because the block is altered with each print, the reduction lino print technique results in limited editions, as no further impressions can be made once the carving process is complete. This technique is closely associated with traditional Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock printing and produces beautifully layered colours.
