'Physalis' original linocut with Chine Collé
£25.00Price
An original linocut print of some physalises or "golden berries" growing with their leaves. My mum has a dried physalis casing on the kitchen windowsill amongst other trinkets, and finding it inspired this work. The black lines are a carved lino layer, and the yellow parts are acid-free mulberry tissue paper shapes glued beneath the ink, a printmaking technique called Chine Collé. This was my first time trying Chine Collé, as part of a triptych called 'Trio of Berries', which also includes 'Strawberry' with red tissue paper, and 'Blueberry' with blue.
As an original, hand-printed work, please allow for some very slight discrepancies from the photos; each print is unique, this is one of the many charms of printmaking.
