This cheeky heron has stolen a typical Dutch treat, a herring with onions. A clever hunter who clearly knows exactly what treasure to pick 😄
This cheeky heron is available in three different versions, each reveiling a different stage of the “crime” and giving you a glimpse into the lino printing process itself.
By playing with the blue ink layer, masking parts of the plate and showing traces of the roller, these variations reveal how small choices during printing can completely change the final artwork.
QUIET THEFT
The theft almost goes unnoticed.
Parts of the blue ink layer were covered with a mask before printing. This leaves the blue visible only on the back of the heron and the stolen herring.
TRACES
The thief left some evidence behind.
The width of the roller remains visible in the blue layer, revealing a trace of the handmade printing process.
FULL CONFESSION
The evidence is undeniable.
The complete blue lino plate has been printed. Nothing is hidden anymore: everything from both lino plates is visible. 😄
