Kirstie Dedman

Kirstie is an Artist and Printmaker, who specialises in reduction Linocuts. The starting point is usually a photograph, which is then drawn onto Lino in reverse and carved away to become a print. Everything is done by hand, in a traditional way, no machines are used.

Reduction Linocut printing is a process which uses one piece of Lino which is printed and cut away many times with many different coloured inks to produce an image.

Linocut Prints were made popular by the Grosvenor Art School and used by Matisse and Picasso. Picasso named the process the 'suicide print', because there's no going back. If you make a mistake the whole edition fails.

Kirstie is currently exploring colour, shadow, light and shade in her works. Pushing the printing process as much as she can creating prints with a great many layers and colours. The subject matters can vary, but whether it's a graphic sign, landscape, or a vase of flowers, the focus is on interesting colour combinations and the light and shadows within the scene.
