I love these cranes. There are 3 of them by the ‘Blue bridge’ at West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs, London. E14. They have a kind of steampunk look. I used a reduction linocut process to create them. There were 8 layers for these prints with the additonal background sky.
The reduction linocut method uses a single piece of lino. Each layer of colour is produced by cutting away areas and printing what remains. This process is continued until the print is complete. Each edition of prints takes many weeks to complete. A reduction print can never be reprinted as once an area has been cut away it can’t be reversed. I mainly print lino’s at home in my kitchen.
Due to the hand printed nature of the printing process small variations can occur in each layer making each print a unique piece of artwork.
