Woodcuts in sets are the same theme, size and type of paper. They are matched sets, meaning the same edition number appears on both (whenever possible). Because they are a matched set, they look great framed together.
Woodcut1: Spirit Wind 2003 Woodcut Image size approximately 7.5 x 12 inches Paper size approximately 14 x 17 inches Edition: 80 Block: Cherry Ink: Black mix Paper: Arches buff ONLY Process: Standard woodcut cut while on site Image: A view of Bryce Canyon from the trail leading to the ever popular Sunrise Point. The point itself was so full of tourists that I opted to backtrack on the cliff's edge and found this tree hanging on and enjoying the view; the wind harshly buffeted tree and I, as I sat and sketched.
Woodcut2: Magic Window Magic Window 2003 Woodcut Image size approximately 7.5 x 12 inches Paper size approximately 14 x 17 inches Edition: 80 Block: Cherry Ink: Black mix Paper: Arches buff ONLY Process: Standard woodcut cut while on site Image: Hiking in Zion Park always brings new views despite my familiarity with its many trails. This time the weather was hot and I stopped inside an overhang, enjoying the cool protective shade and the magnificent view from my magic window.
Process: Woodcuts and wood engravings are made by drawing an image on a block of wood, usually cherry in my case, then carving out the negative spaces. After carving, what is left is a big "stamp" of the desired image. I roll ink with a roller over the woodcut, place a piece of handmade paper on the inked block, apply pressure and transfer the image on the paper.
All my woodcuts are made in limited editions, signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. Sold in pristine/never framed condition (sold unmatted/unframed). Designed, cut and hand-printed by the artist ALL MATERIALS ARCHIVAL QUALITY AND PERMANENT
