Comment on Curves & grids by Yewtree

I like it – I think it’s the tension between the formality of the box and the freeness of the curves. Also it looks as if it might be made of cast iron, as the black, particularly in the first image, looks slightly raised.

Wow, I like it. Definitely evokes the sea.

There’s another Mondrian tree picture that is even less abstract than the one on your blogpost, so that one can see the evolution from one to the other. I like the horizontality of the branches.

Hi Michael,

Thanks very much for your comment! That sounds like a really cool project.

I like lino a lot, but I ought to do more work on wood. The vinyl I use is specialist Japanese carving vinyl, almost completely unlike floor tiles. I’ve never done a full piece on vinyl floor tiles, but I remember experimenting with carving one—it was very hard and slippery in comparison, and it’s also physically much thinner, while the surface is much more water-repellent. If you do try it, I’d be really interested to see the results.

Hi just came across your site. I am looking for a cheap source of Vinyl or lino for linocut relief. My project is putting a press on a bike cart and peddling it around my town to do woodblock/linoblock prints on t-shirts as part of a promo campaign for the recreation dept (where I work here in Eugene, OR). I do most of my carving on wood. I am gathering blocks from other people in town and many prefer lino for its ease of use. Have you ever used vinyl floor tiles? I was wondering if they were an option.
BTW I really like your site. You share a lot of great info about your process and I appreciate that. Particularly like your Scottish waves pieces.
cheers,
Michael
