Hand painted linocut created for the Alaska Midnight Sun Tango Camp 2020.  Think summer camp for adults—with hiking, lake swimming and water sports, sweat lodge, guitar and harp jams—but with 9 hours of tango dancing a day. AND, amazing Turkish food in the cook house for a global community of dancers. Sadly, the camp for 2020 was canceled due to the pandemic.

7.5 x 9 inches

 

Sizes listed are of the linocut images themselves; I leave an additional white border of paper on all sides.

My linocuts are printed on cotton rag paper the old-fashioned way: I carve with knives and gouges to create my imagery in slabs of linoleum. Then I roll ink over the surface, lay cotton paper on top, and crank the block through my etching press. I repeat this process for each impression in the edition, which means: If an image is in an edition of 40, I do this 40 times! After the prints dry, I generally hand-paint them, often with many layers of color, making each print a unique work of art.
