Pink Cocky original linocut printed by hand [A4+]

The Major Mitchell Cockatoo which inhabits the harsh, arid inland, from the WA coast to central NSW, is known for its distinctive red, yellow, and white crest. In her original linocut print, the artist has captured this intelligent bird against a backdrop of gum leaves and flowers.

The Artist, Nicole Spillane, is inspired by Australia's unique birds, animals, and plant life, especially those that share her inner-city environment. She appreciates the imperfections that come with the manual aspect of printmaking, and believes they add character to the piece.

Linocuts are a type of block or relief printing where an image is carved in reverse on a block of lino which is then inked with a roller. An impression is taken by applying pressure to transfer the ink to paper. Several blocks may be used for coloured prints.
