Description
Every beginning has a beginning somewhere – because “we are never at the beginning of the road” (Agnieszka Stein), and I see it clearly here. I returned to linocut after a few years, I even had the tools at home. For me, ‘Beginning’ is quite a groundbreaking graphic – in a sense, the first, because it was another step in allowing myself to create my own way. For me it is about tenderness and focusing on something important.
This is an original hand-made print. Print was made in linocut technique, which involves manually cutting out the design on a rubber (linoleum) surface, covering its surface with printing ink each time and transferring it to paper using a press.
The ‘Beginning’ print series is open. For me it means that I will print the next batch when the first one will be sold out. 9 prints are available right now. The total number will be not more than 30 pieces. One copy is marked as Test Print, one as Authors Proof (these two stay with me). I will send the rest in numerical order. Each one is signed and numbered, and marked as OE (Open Edition) and H.M.P. (Hand Modified Print) as I added collage elements (black dots are painted paper cut and pasted). Each copy may differ slightly as it is hand made.
Printed in January 2024 in my home studio in Jeżyce, Poznań.
This print is 29,7 x 42 cm (A3 size) and will fit standard frames or passe-partout window opening 28,7 x 41 cm.
