Japanese Reduction Woodcut
Edition of 4
Dimensions (WxH): 40 x 40cm

Carol was awarded a residency to study Japanese woodcut in Japan from Japanese sensei and it formed the focus of her MA studies at the Royal College of Art. The natural world including water, clouds and reflections are a recurring subject in her work. She has been working recently on Japanese reduction woodcuts, handprinted with a baren using sumi ink and watercolours on Washi - allying the nuance of watercolour with the certainties of woodblock. Her reduction prints have enabled her to move away from her initial starting point enabling her to respond to unexpected print outcomes more directly. This has given her a greater freedom and expression than when working with a multiplate print. She teaches Japanese woodcut to adult students at The Slade, The City Literary Institute, Morley College and The Art Academy in London and lectures on the subject for The Art Society. Her book Japanese Woodcut: Traditional Techniques and Contemporary Practice published by the Crowood Press in 2024. Carol’s work has been exhibited widely in the UK and internationally. Her work is held in many collections notably RCA, V&A, Clifford Chance, Kunst Museum Reutlingen and CfSHE Tokyo.
