This open edition art print, “Gilled Cluster,” was hand printed using hand-carved linocut blocks and Cranfield ink. This printing process begins by carving a linoleum block with a drawn image, inking the block with a brayer, and then using a wooden spoon to massage the ink onto the paper. I used archival acid free printmaking paper for this print.
Linocut printing is a unique process that allows the paper to pick up some of the stray marks left on the block. Because each print is pulled by hand, there may be slight variations between prints depending on the amount of pressure applied and the amount of ink applied to the linoleum block.

My prints are inspired or based on fungi I have personally encountered and spent time with. This particular gilled mushroom cluster I encountered on a walk with the New York Mycological Society.
