Yes, I admit it. I have enjoyed watching (and rewatching) BBC adaptation of Sally Rooney’s Normal People a little too much :) Marianne and Connell played by Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal have not left me yet and as linocutting is what I do… Humans and realism are not my usual style, but I have really enjoyed having fun with this! The preparation took longer than the actual carving this time.
This is a sample blog post as I am finding my way around my new website! I really love this photo, and although this block has been carved quite a long time ago, I vividly remember carving it . The drawing has been inspired by Rodney the parrot although Rodney was a blue and gold macaw and this is definitely an african grey!
The carving material is not an actual traditional linoleum but a piece of an old kitchen flooring! Still my favourite carving material.
