Goat Strayed from The Gully linocut print by Lucy Baik

Goat Strayed from The Gully linocut print (landscape 29.7 x 21cm) 

This print is inspired by the goats that live by the gully in Bristol close to the Sispension Bridge. They are there to control invasive scrub and protect the rare flora such as the Bristol Onion. The Gully is one of only two sites in Britain. Printed on cotton etching papera which is 100% cotton Acid Free Fine Art paper with a white base. The surface has an etching texture which helps accentuate detail and gives a depth to the image.

Lucy begins by sketching the place and animals, then refines and traces the drawing to transfer it onto lino, which she carves and prints by hand using ink applied with a roller.
