All Things Were One Thing (White)
Limited edition linocut
16 × 16 cm on hand-torn sheets measuring 25 × 25 cm
Number of prints in the edition: 10
All Things Were One Thing is based upon a continuous line sketch in which the central tree, its two companions with their cloud-like canopies, its infant, and a sun that looks upon them all are drawn as part of a single unbroken line. The text within the work realises in words the connectedness of all these things and is itself part of the same line. Carving the block and maintaining the integrity of this single line was a very slow process and inevitably, whilst clearing around the line, I was drawn to make further marks. As the work progressed, these marks became more and more conscious such that they began to flow upwards around the central tree. I have sought to capture this movement within the print.
The print has been hand-pressed by burnishing the reverse side with a silver spoon. The paper used is 250 gsm Somerset Satin and the ink is Cranfield’s Seville Black Traditional Letterpress. Each print in the edition is numbered and signed beneath the printed area.
