Axenic
Woodcut
15" x 10"
Edition 60
Block: Maple plank
Ink: Graphite, Black
Paper: Stonehenge white
Process: Puzzle print with embossing
Image: Axenic means "not contaminated by or associated with another living organism." I got the idea from a-word-a-day e-mail, the word instantly brought up the image surrounded by pure empty white space.
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
