Woodcut print
Edition of 10
20" x 26" / 50.8cm x 66cm

Where most processes treat distortion as failure, McDougal pursues it deliberately; the design laser-engraved with precision, then printed entirely by hand on natural wood grain. Controlled and unpredictable at once.

About The Artist

Graham McDougal's work and exhibitions begin with the printed page, which he approaches as a site, and source for research and studio production. This involves photographing and scanning pieces of print ephemera, rare books, essays on art, typography and architectural design. Read More
In contrast to fields in which distortion is an accidental, undesirable effect, this woodcut print from Graham McDougal is typical of his larger practice where precisely generated works are produced that explore a conscious use of distortion.

McDougal employs analog and digital methods in the production of his work, in the case of this print the design is produced through laser engraving, but then the process of its printing is completed entirely by hand. The precision of the laser cut design sits in pleasing contrast to the naturally unpredictable grained surface of the wood.
Our typical framing practice is to float mount prints with 1-inch (2cm) of space around the print. This is a method of framing that keeps the art fully visible in the frame and leaves the edges of the cotton papers exposed. A spacer is added to the frame to keep the artwork from touching the plexiglass. Float mounting requires adhering the print to an acid free foam core back or mat board using acid free linen tape.

UV-filtering plexiglass is used for all frames, an option that has become the industry standard. Plexiglass is lighter, scratch-resistant & shatter-resistant (essential for shipping). It also provides more UV protection and less glare than glass.

The best way to love your prints and ensure a long, happy life is certainly to have them framed. A high quality frame can prevent damage, fading and also show your prints off in their best possible light. If you are interested in having your print framed through our site, take a look at our framing information page.

We've found that the best way to avoid damage, is to ship prints carefully packaged in sturdy tubes. A day or two under some heavy books and they'll be nice and flat. However, keep in mind that because of the nature of cotton paper, it will respond to differing levels of humidity in the air. Sometimes paper will lay flat and other times it will slightly ripple. This is natural and a lovely reminder of its physicality as an organic object, embrace its paper personality! If you're planning to frame your print, just take them rolled up to your framer and they can expertly take care of the flattening process.
