Sardine Lino Print Gyotau

Gosh that's quite a title!  However this is what it is.  I am sometimes frustrated working with small fish that they are so fragile, it makes them very hard to make a gyotaku with multiple fish on.  I'm also just keen to keep expanding my practice and I like the idea of making these lino cuts at the same size of the real fish and then working with them in exactly the same way I would in Gyotkau.  So as with the gyotaku, the fish lino cut is inked up and then the paper is lifted over and the impression taken.  Each fish on this print has been done individually from the same lino cut.  After the printing is done the eyes were hand painted on.  Finally it was wet mounted as with all my Gyotaku work.  This print has two sheets of backing paper attached to it. 

All my prints are unique as the fish are printed by hand and placed individually.  A certificate is provide with each unique artwork.
