Traditionally, at the end of an edition, the artist will deface the block that made the print, assuring that it may no longer be used.
Since the act of carving the block is so important to me, and since there are so many ways now that a print can be reproduced, I decided not to destroy my blocks. Instead, I think that there is educational value in preserving the block and showing it with the print. For the past several years I have matted and framed some of my linoleum blocks with the last print in the edition. The framed work here under Prints with Blocks - Current Collection are just such pieces. The work will be in either a horizontal (H) format...the print and block are side by side, or a vertical (V) format...with the print usually mounted above the block (as illustrated). This work is matted in black core Spice Ivory, and framed with a narrow profile, matte black, metal frame. The linoleum available from my supplier varies in color and quality. The blocks will range in various shades of gray and brown. Please see About page for more details and ordering information.
