Harriet

A print depicting a hippo standing in front of a pastel background scene of a river and trees. The hippo image is centered within a square sheet of textured off-white paper. At the bottom of the image is written the edition number 2/23, the title Harriet, and the artist's signature and date, L. Nishizaki 2021.

A closeup view of the hippo in the print. The hippo body is textured with rapid lines that add dimension. The hippo is framed by tall seeded grasses in the foreground, and two trees in the background.

The colorful hippo print, centered in a black frame, float-mounted above grey matboard. The frame sits on rumpled navy fabric.

Two grey carved linoleum blocks and two printed sheets of paper, arranged on a flat surface. Each piece of paper is printed using one of the blocks. The foreground paper is printed in a dark gradient and depicts the hippo. The background paper is printed using pastel colors and shows trees, water texture, and some grass.

Harriet is a stately hippo, just emerged from grazing along the bottom of her river. Or maybe she’s just woken up from a nap, and is enjoying the feel of the sun on her back.

This print is a limited edition, hand-carved and hand-printed linocut block print. It is created using two different carved linoleum blocks, each inked up using a custom gradient of oil-based inks. The prints are on off-white archival-quality cotton paper with hand-torn deckle edges.

Because each print is a hand-printed original work of art, there will be slight variations between prints. Prints are sold unframed.
