Anchovies Mini Print

Anchovies Mini PrintThis bold 6 x 6 inch print features a composition of anchovies only, lino carved by hand and arranged to create a sense of movement and flow within the piece. Each fish was carefully carved to capture the distinctive slender form and subtle detailing of real anchovies. Ive used my signature blue and gold acrylic inks, which are both lightfast and permanent, ensuring the richness of colour lasts over time. The simplicity of the single species

and careful observation

Next comes the wet mounting process

The name for this process is Urauchi and it literally means to glue on backing

contemporary study of texture and movement

Set against a deep black background

coastal location or someone who likes fishing
