Succulent

A hand-pulled reduction print featuring a resilient jade plant set against a rhythmic mountain pattern backdrop.

Created using the reduction printing process, each color layer is printed from the same block through successive stages of carving and printing. With every pass, more of the block is permanently carved away — meaning the image can never be printed again once the edition is complete.

-image size 9.5" x 9.5"
-paper size 11.5" x 11.5"
-printed with black and custom-mixed green Speedball water-soluble block printing ink on smooth white paper

-carved, printed, and signed by Sara Schalliol-Hodge
-ships in a clear sleeve with a backer board including artist info inside a rigid mailer

Because each print is pulled by hand, slight variations between impressions are natural and part of what makes every piece unique.
