Print - ink by Gudrun Ståhl Sharpley

Comments

I like it Gudrun, it looks quite medieval.

Love it Gudrun. Linocuts, etchings etc are a fascination for me, although I've never tried them. Great that you can get good results without a press.

Thank you for your appreciation. I like the constraints this method puts on me in terms of how to create a composition that still has movement in it. I think that not using a press is to my advantage. It's hard work though!

I would need a press for drypoint etching though. I would love to try that sometime.

I really like this - different and can definitely see the interpretation

I like this a lot, Gudrun.

This is fabulous Gudrun, cleverly done !

As some might know, I am inspired by the prints and other works by Edvard Munch that I had the opportunity to see at last year's exhibition, 'love and angst' at the British Museum. This work is a linocut using a reference from my photographic archive left by my father. I also did one which was 'clean', ie without the random bits, but I like the reference to traditional woodcut. I haven't decided on how many I shall do because I do not have a press so this is done by hand, which is tricky!
