I was fortunate to be invited to participant in a print exchange curated by Rona Green. The theme was ‘Beautiful Soup’. In considering the theme I contemplated the structure of soup itself (liquid and the occasional solid ingredient). This in turn led me to consider the sea and creatures therein. An encounter with the Blue Whale skeleton at Melbourne Museum sealed the deal. My work is called  ‘Whale Bones’, and is based on images of the vertebrae from the skeleton. The medium is linocut, printed using Graphics Chemicals ‘Bismark Brown’ ink on Somerset Velvet Buff 280 gsm paper. The dimensions are 13 w x 18 h (cm). The print exchange will be exhibited later in 2012. The creation of the work and the edition is shown below.
