What is a woodcut?

My explanation:
An image is drawn onto a flat piece of wood (the block). The negative space is carved away. Ink is rolled onto the remaining raised surfaces. A sheet of paper is placed on the inked surface, and either run through a printing press, or rubbed with a disc-shaped object called a baren. The paper is peeled off, and the image is on the page. In the ADDITIVE PROCESS, each color requires that a new block be carved. In the REDUCTIVE PROCESS, a little is carved, then inked and printed. The same block is then carved more, inked and printed on top of the last layer, in a different color... and so on. Most of my work is additive.

Do you use a printing press, or do you print them by hand?

Well... both. When I have access to presses, I use 'em. Most of the work from the past five years has been done by hand, using a baren. During the fall of 2006, I will again have access to a press.

How many prints are in each edition?


Generally, I keep my edition sizes from 10 to 20 prints.
Once the edition is printed, and they're signed, no more are printed.
Each work has the edition written in pencil under the left corner of each piece. If you have questions, contact me, and I will be happy to answer any questions.

I am interested in buying some work. Is it sold with a frame, or without?

Both. I frame them in black metal frames, with either archival mats, or floated. Contact me with questions.
