Sarka
Printmaker, teacher, and lifelong student of the carved line.
Sarka works in relief printmaking - linocut above all. Each piece begins as a drawing, is carved by hand into the block, then inked and pulled on paper one impression at a time. The editions are small, and because every pull of the press lands a little differently, each print is an original, not a copy.
The work spans many years of steady practice, from early single-colour cuts to the layered reduction prints of recent series. The archive on this site runs newest to oldest - a record of a hand growing surer and a line growing simpler.
Alongside the studio practice sits a teaching one. Sarka leads printmaking sessions in classrooms and workshops, putting carving tools and brayers into new hands - and the Young Artists pages collect the fearless work her students pull from the press.
