Work in progress. The text is from Milton’s epic poem ‘Paradise Lost’ (book IV). It’s slow work and every so often I take rubbings to see how things are progressing. Once carved, I’ll proof it and then decide if I want to let more light into the tree. The fourth photo is flipped so that you can read the text if you zoom in.

A partially cut lino block showing a cormorant on top of a tree within which is the text ‘Thence up he flew and on the tree of life, the middle tree and highest there that grew, sat like a cormorant. Above the block is a rubbing that gives a sense of how things may look when printed in black ink.
Detail from the linocut block showing a tracery of leaves, roses, and lettering
Graphite rubbing of the same detail. Black graphite on buff coloured paper.
A flipped version of the first photo which reads left to right as would a final print from the linocut block.
