To produce a woodcut, I hand carve marks into the surface of a woodblock, slowly reducing the surface area of the block. Ink is rolled onto the remaining surface using a brayer or roller, so that the surface is fully inked. Paper is placed over the inked surface and the block and paper are passed through a printing press, under tremendous pressure, so that the ink on the surface of the wood is transferred or imprinted onto the paper. This is a woodcut in its most simplest form - a single layer of ink with the mark of the woodgrain and the intentional or incidental marks made by my hand and a sharp tool, to remove some of the surface. To produce a woodcut with multiple layers or colours, this process is repeated, either using a single block (reductively carved away) or multiple blocks, and each layer or colour is imprinted over the one before, so that the ink slowly builds up, like information added to a story.  

I have recently included more screen print in my art practice. These screen prints are sometimes derived from my woodblocks, in which case you will see the woodgrain present in the image. Sometimes the two processes are combined, as in the piece "Lost and Found".  I have grouped these artworks into the same collection as my prints off woodblock.
