Item Description
Ms. Bull moved to america from Norway as a baby and grew up in and around New York City. She began printmaking in the 1950s, and when she pulled her first woodblock print, she realized that this would be her preferred medium. She awas already an accomplished printmaker when she encounter Japanese woodcut artiists and their tools - the knives, gouges and baren. She applies oil-based inks, rather than the waterbased inks tradional in Japan, to the carved blocks, a separate bloack for each color. Then she places paper on each block in turn and rubs it by hand with the baren, a flat disk covered with a bamboo leaf. For greater definition, she uses a wooden spoon to strengthen a line or particular area. Because each woodcut involces so much meticulous handwork, she limits them to editions of 35 to 50 prints.
