Transience - Camellia Flower Reduction Print
Transience is a hand-printed reduction linocut celebrating the delicate, fleeting beauty of camellia flowers.
Each year, camellias grace our gardens with their lush blooms — vivid, soft, and heartbreakingly short-lived. This print captures that sense of impermanence: the reminder that part of what makes something beautiful is knowing it won’t last forever.
Perfect for collectors of botanical art or anyone who finds quiet joy in life’s tender, ephemeral moments.
Created with careful, layered carving and printing, Transience is a limited edition reduction lino print — only 25 prints available — each signed, numbered, and printed by hand using artist-quality inks on fine art paper.
Reduction Lino Print
A reduction print starts with a single block that gets carved and printed in layers, with more rubber carved away before each new colour is added. The catch is that once you commit to the next layer, there is no going back because the block is permanently changed each time, which makes the whole process wonderfully nerve-wracking. The result is a richly layered, complex print that can never be exactly reproduced, making every edition truly limited.
