'Summer Storm at Old Harry Rocks' Linoprint

This print is of Old Harry Rocks in Purbeck, situated on the Jurassic coast in Dorset. This beautiful part of Dorset's coastline is between Swanage and the expanse of Studland beach. This print depicts one of the stacks at Handfast Point in the summer with a rain storm on the horizon.

This is printed by hand from a hand-carved lino block using traditional printing techniques in my home in Dorset. It is a six-layer reduction linocut, a method of block printing in which each colour layer is taken from the same block. More lino is removed from the block for each layer and each colour is printed on top of the last. This means that an entire edition must be printed in one go – once you have carved into the block for the next layer, you can’t go back to print more. For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as the ‘kamikaze’ printmaking. This is a Limited Edition of 45 handmade prints.
