This piece is inspired by the Lunar Zodiac sign for 2026 - year of the Fire Horse! Horse years contain bold moves, courageous change and hard work. Add the element of fire and they become a bit unpredictable, more powerful, but also more volitile- just like a horse on fire!
10″h x 8″w, edition of 100 on Rives BFK, unframed.
Print Edition: Fire Horse
This piece is a "relief engraving.” It is in the block print or relief family of printmaking, which refers to two surfaces, one lower than the other, so that the highest surface prints. I hand carve each image with small but tough tools called burins, or gravers. The remaining surface is rolled with ink and pressed through the printing press. Each print taken from the plate is part of an edition, and numbered. My limited editions are always under 100 since they are inked and cranked by hand on my printing press. Printed on 100% Cotton Rag Paper.
