Daybreak on the Gibb River Road
'Daybreak on the Gibb River Road' is a limited edition reduction linoprint. It captures a memory of an early morning roadside pitstop on the Kimberly region's Gibb River Road when we witnessed an energetic flock of zebra finches.
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.
