Tree Tunnel

14 x 20 cm

Wood engraving

The very first time I visited Halnaker holloway (near Chichester), I knew I had to engrave it. It’s strangely calming and and such a weird experience to walk through it. As you enter there’s an immediate drop in temperature as the foliage removes the heat from the sun and any breeze gets funnelled along its length. It’s a real sensory overload… in a good way.

These prints are original wood engravings. I engrave on boxwood or lemon wood blocks using traditional hand tools. Then I ink up the block and print the edition one at a time. Each print is an original artist print.

No. of prints in edition: 60

This print is made using Lawrence Original Linseed Oil Relief Ink. The formulas used to create these inks have been in use for hundreds of years and are “free from animal-based or derived ingredients, made with linseed oil, not honey or gelatine”. The paper is archival and acid free.

Each print is signed, dated and editioned in pencil below the image.
