I've continued experimenting with relief or block printing. This one involved carefully carving an image on linoleum mounted on a board, applying just the right amount of ink to the carving and then printing it by adroitly pressing a light piece of paper onto the block of linoleum. The process takes a fair amount of time and the results are not always guaranteed. But each printed image - with or without imperfections - is an original piece of art. As I mentioned in a previous posting, they can be printed on different kinds of paper and fabrics, or in different colours, by themselves or together with other linoleum blocks - the possibilities are endless. This particular piece was inspired by rosette carvings in the Library of Parliament. Previously, I've created six watercolour and ink illustrations of these rosettes which were 15 cm in diameter. By comparison, this linoprint image is 10 cm in diameter and doesn't have the same degree of detail. However, it is a different artform just as oil paintings are different from watercolour paintings.

J'ai continué à expérimenter avec la gravure en relief. Cette technique consiste à graver soigneusement une image sur du linoléum collé sur un support, à appliquer la juste dose d'encre sur la gravure, puis à l'imprimer en pressant habilement une feuille de papier léger sur le bloc de linoléum. Le processus est assez long et le résultat n'est pas toujours garanti. Mais chaque image imprimée, avec ou sans imperfections, est une œuvre d'art originale. Comme je l'ai mentionné dans un article précédent, on peut les imprimer sur différents types de papier et de tissus, ou en différentes couleurs, seules ou combinées à d'autres blocs de linoléum : les possibilités sont infinies. Cette pièce en particulier s'inspire des rosaces sculptées de la Bibliothèque du Parlement. J'avais auparavant réalisé six illustrations à l'aquarelle et à l'encre de ces rosaces, d'un diamètre de 15 cm. Par comparaison, cette linogravure mesure 10 cm de diamètre et présente un niveau de détail inférieur. Cependant, il s'agit d'une forme d'art différente, tout comme la peinture à l'huile diffère de l'aquarelle.

Order bars government from ‘taking other further action’ in the creation or operation of the fund so a case challenging it can continue – key US politics stories from Friday, 29 May at a glance

A federal judge in Virginia temporarily blocked the Trump administration from transferring any money into a secretive and loosely controlled $1.8bn fund while a legal challenge proceeds.

The order from US district judge Leonie Brinkema on Friday bars the government from “taking other further action” in the creation or operation of the fund while legal arguments in a case challenging the fund continue. The order is intended “to ensure no funds are irreversibly disbursed from the Anti-Weaponization Fund”, Brinkema wrote.

Discovery brings death toll from chemical tank rupture in Longview to nine, with two workers still unaccounted for

Crews on Friday recovered the remains of one more victim of a massive chemical tank rupture at a paper mill in Washington state, bringing the death toll to nine people and leaving two workers still unaccounted for.

Among the 11 workers presumed killed in the disaster were two brothers who worked there together, a trivia champ and an electrician who would help his farmer neighbors cut hay.
