Field Thistle (Cirsium discolor) is an original reduction woodcut carved in Shina block and printed with oil-based relief inks on Japanese paper. Printed in an edition of 20. Each of the 20 is signed, numbered, and titled in pencil below the image. As with any hand-printed artwork, subtle embossing and variations may exist between the prints in the edition, lending unique character.

(A variable extension of the edition with monotype gradient backgrounds is available in custom frames, limited to 4. See final slide for example. Contact me if you’re interested in one of these.)

Reduction woodcut: A multicolored woodcut created from a single block, which is carved further away for each successive color. At the end of the edition, there is very little remaining on the block and no more prints can be made from it.
