I had a friend come by today to help with clean up. So by the time I was pulling my #print for the day the #studio was already half cleaned up! What a delight. She also filmed me pull the print. ☺️ What a treat!

It’s been a productive week of printing this 8 colour print. One pull a day! Fingers crossed it will continue to go well!

The big reveal, Maria is pulling a colourful cellular image off the carved matrix after running it through a printing press.
New pulled multi colour proof
It takes 4 hours to ink this intricate block
So many inking rollers and ink layer out on the glass palettes. A big mess to clean up
It’s been a long day of pulling proofs and making messes, but I am delighted to have a plan for the edition now.

I started pulling prints. I enjoyed working on this etching but now, on to linocuts! I have a stack of carved blocks ready to go. Starting with the commission project at the end of April, and then big blocks.

Authenticity - reductive linocut by Maria Doering
Vivaciousness - a reductive linocut by Maria Doering
Self- preservation a reductive linocut by Maria Doering
Enthusiastic- a reductive linocut by Maria Doering
Authenticity, vivaciousness, self preservation and enthusiastic were all an exploration into reduction printing with my cell work. I was looking for more depth and dimensionality. I loved how far I could push the darks and the tiny details.

Kindness, Longing, Love and Nurturing were some of the first cellular prints I made. Musings on what could these intangible parts of us look like if they were cells in our bodies.

A quick rubbing of the carved progress
I am working on a special commission project. Something a bit different than what I usually do. The level of detail carving has been wild though. Here included a graphite rubbing of the progress.

I’ve been really enjoying my new sketchbook even though the paper is thinner than I like. It’s funny how a more delicate paper makes me work with fine liner much more often.

The finished proof
This is another print in this series that I proofed last summer and am planning on editioning finally in May. It takes about 6h to ink this block to then pull a single print on Japanese paper. The end result is so worth it!
