Reduction linocut print on paper | 12.5" x 16" | Edition of 3

In Giraffe, a quiet guardian rises from a glowing field of red—tall, poised, and impossibly present. This print was created using a reduction linocut technique, where each layer of color is carved, inked, and printed in succession from the same block, never to be used again. The rich, textured blend of crimson, umber, and ivory gives the piece a dreamlike aura, as if the creature is emerging from memory or myth.

The giraffe stands as a symbol of expanded vision and inner stillness. Its calm gaze and elongated form stretch beyond the frame, suggesting a watchful awareness that transcends time and space. There is strength in its softness—elegance in its height. This is not just an animal, but a spirit standing tall in the firelight of the unknown.
