Jennifer Jokhoo Artist/Printmaker

My handmade linocut prints are produced by hand; from the initial drawings, to the intricate cutting, inking and printing of editions.  Work available will be from my rural landscape and London cityscape portfolio.  The prints are contemporary and I endeavour to capture the essence of a place.  Sketchbooks and linos will be on show, as will my Hunter Penrose press, enabling visitors to gain an insight into the process.    My preferred printmaking technique is ‘Reduction linoprinting’ otherwise known as the suicide method! In this method, a multi coloured print is pulled from a single block.  The lino is inked with the lightest colour and the first printing is made.  The areas to remain that colour are then cut away.  This is the process for each layer, therefore it cannot be rewound or repeated. As a result my editions are kept very small. I enjoy the challenges of this method which requires thoughtful planning and execution.
