Man-Child - original hand-pulled linocut

Description

This is a portrait of my son when he was in his 'tweens. Not yet a man, no longer a child. It shows that awkward age when nothing seems perfect, nothing is permanent. The passage of time, for the first time, is noticed. Sleep is the only respite, and the only time a mother may look intimately at her son and really see his changing face. Growing into maturity is a natural process. Wabi-sabi.

This is a hand-cut linoleum block print, a hand-lifted artist's proof with deckeled edges. I used Copper Metallic ink on white Kinwahi Japanese paper. It is dated and signed and comes from my smoke-free studio.

*** Kinwahi paper is Machinemade in Japan of 100% manila hemp. These translucent sheets are embedded with short straight fibers. One side of the sheet is very smooth and ideal for lithography, monoprinting, wood cut, and linoleum cut printing. Although called a white paper, these sheets have a slight buff/eggshell color to them.
