jelly

This is an original lino block print of a jellyfish, printed in white, water-based block printing ink on 'unryu teal' Japanese paper. (I would describe the paper as navvy not teal, but that's what the paper was called nonetheless). The jellyfish is inspired by Ernst Haeckel and lovely 19th century scientific illustrations of biology. The paper has many visible fibres, which add to the organic feel of the piece and makes each print rather unique.
