The Fountain, Bern · A4 · signed & numbered

One block.
No two sheets alike.

There is no grey in a linocut — only ink or paper. Everything you see as white has been cut away, and a cut cannot be taken back.

01 Inking. A rubber roller lays a thin, even coat. Only the ridges left standing take ink.
02 Paper. One sheet, laid down once and pressed by hand. It cannot move after it touches the ink.
03 Pulling. Peeled off slowly. Only now you see if the sheet worked.
04 The sheet. Every line is a cut in the block. Signed in pencil.

The works

Three repeat plates · cut so the pattern runs on without a seam

New · Bern in 3D

The clock tower of Bern’s old town, 1218–1530, as a hand-checked 3D print in PLA. Drawn here the way a block would cut it: light becomes lines.

Commission

01
You send a photograph. One good image is enough. I tell you honestly if it translates into a cut — before you pay anything.
02
A drawing for approval. I redraw it in pure black and white. Nothing is cut until you are happy with it.
03
Cut, printed, signed. Your own edition — and the plate is yours if you want it.
