Waterlilies Framed Matted Block Print by Yoshiko Yamamoto

This Yoshiko Yamamoto linoleum block print was made from multiple hand carved blocks with four of the blocks used as reduction blocks, to achieve the depth of color. Each print is signed and is one of a numbered limited edition of 240. “Like Claude Monet‘s obsession with his lily ponds in Giverny, I’m fascinated by the interplay between the light and the dark, — the seen and the unseen. In the dark murky water, all the wonderful memories remain in my subconscious. But occasionally an image or two from the past float up to the surface with such clarity. Where there’s darkness, a shadow; we cherish life’s fleeting brilliance.” Matted size: 20.75" x 41".

Founded in 1996 by Yoshiko Yamamoto with her husband Bruce Smith, the Arts & Crafts Press uses antique printing presses to handcraft traditional woodblock prints and letterpress printed greeting cards at their studio in Tacoma, Washington. While preserving and advancing the traditional aspects of letterpress and woodblock printing, the Arts and Crafts Press also strives to print for our future generations with a commitment to seeking alternative, "greener" printing materials and tools.
