Inspiration

What impresses me about the winter Olympics is the sheer danger involved in most of the sport.  Incredible athleticism combined with 100% bravery is a riveting watch and I wanted to celebrate this by creating some memorable images.  These are taken from the 2026 winter Olympics in northern Italy and focuses on where we won medals in Cross ski, luge and half pipe.

Delivery

Process

Reduction prints are made by repeatedly carving into a linoleum block and then printing a colour.  Usually colour printing goes from lighter colours to a final darker colour.  Lino is removed each time until eventually the block is completely gone or the print is complete.  Because the lino block is progressively carved away, no more prints can be made.

If it is a one colour block this can be an open edition i.e. many prints can be made. If it is a numbered edition that is the number of prints that will ever exist, no more can be made.
