This is a 3 block, 5 colour linocut print. A close view, downcast gaze, and muted palette suggest an intimacy and engagement with an inner world.
 
The nude throughout Art history has had many different associations, from eroticism to demonstrations of beauty and the sublime. For me the nude is instead a suggestion of our essential being. It represents us at our most open, vulnerable, and strong. It’s what’s left when we strip away all of the external stories and expectations that are placed upon us. It’s freedom.
 
As all prints are hand pressed, each will have some minor differences, which I believe adds to the character of the print. I cannot guarantee that you will receive the edition featured in the photo.
