about the image: I did a series of illustrations this summer for a custom set of wedding invitations. I later took those pencil drawings and turned them into carvings for print. This is one of a series of 4 flower prints. I have [first run] posted because I have used this image in another printing. I won't ever reprint on the strawberry stock--keeping the "limited edition" of this printing.

about the image: After having a conversation with a girlfriend about our childless and aged state, I attempted to put a visual to what we/I felt about it. At 37, we've been told the end of the world is "40" when it comes to having children [though not so much these days] as women when you enter the 35-40 bracket, if you want a family, it sometimes creates an environment of panic and despiration.

Inside it sometimes feels as if I'm in a plexi box with the water rising...and I'm clinging to the "glass ceiling" trying to stay alive. I hope that she and I can look back at this and wonder why we stressed so much about something so out of our control.

What started out to be a linoleum reduction...had a series of circumstances change my direction. Because reductions are all about registration/any slip and the print is ruined. I didn't realize while printing the 3rd color that the lino had separated from the block and had moved an 1/8th of an inch the whole run. I decided to make it a project of overprinting after that and carved two additional blocks and printed various versions of what you see here. 3 blocks total were used. the first 3 colors were reduction, the remaining consisted of the other blocks.

The end result is a cool Warhol effect that is truly a limited edition print. I only completed three sheets of proper printmaking paper [one is housed at the Otis Lab press] If you're looking for limited edition this is your print. This project took over two months to complete. Due to the time and monoprint nature I raised the price from my other prints.

I'll do another posting with some of the printer's test sheets as well for viewing. All the variations are quiet lovely.

about the print: Linoleum reduction is a painstakenly long process of using one piece of linoleum and working lightest to darkest printing each color separately. after one color is finished, I carve the next remaining color out and print again. If you make a mistake you're S.O.L. once the print is finished you can never use the block again making this the ultimate in fine art printing. each piece was hand printed at the Otis print lab early in 2006.
