A LILAC BRANCH linocut

Description

A LILAC BRANCH is a color linocut (original hand pulled print from a limited edition of 27). Designed, cut, and printed by me, Natalia Moroz. Signed, titled, and numbered in pencil. Dated 2006.

To produce this complex print I used multiple plates, reduction technique, and gradient inking (also known as rainbow inking). Each print in this edition is somewhat different. Every color had to be printed on a separate run and the artwork went through the printing press seven times. All these gave the linocut print the subtlety and uniqueness of a monotype painting.

The image area is about 12"x12" and paper size 15"x16.5". Printed on beautiful printmaking paper (Rising Stonehenge, 120 lb, acid-free) with oil based printing ink - all materials are permanent and archival. Directly from my studio, the print is in mint condition.
