A hand printed linocut print inspired by and created on the Isle of Islay off the west coast of Scotland.
This print is presented either as stand alone on A5 paper (printed area 150x100) or in an ivory/white mount measuring 10x8 inches. Please note the oak frame is not included.
Eyebright, Euphrasia
A tiny inconspicuous herb that grows in abundance in the landscape surrounding our home on The Oa, Islay. Eyebright has been used through the centuries to treat numerous eye ailments and the plants are semi-parasitic. They attached themselves to grass roots, absorbing their nutrients allowing other wildflowers to flourish.
This Eyebright was sketched from a close-up picture we took on one of our daily walks. After sketching we then transfer the design to Lino before carving with a fine tool. Every picture is hand printed and therefore unique. We use vegetable oil-based inks and 300gsm Snowden Paper.
