Red currants are a familiar sight in my garden, where their bright clusters of berries ripen during the summer. They are small fruits, but they represent something much larger to me: the relationship between plants, seasons and our food supply.
This reduction linocut is part of my From Flower to Food series, exploring the plants I grow and harvest in my garden, and the often-overlooked knowledge connected to growing our own food.
I am interested in the whole journey of a plant—from flowering and pollination to fruit, seed and harvest. Red currants are both beautiful and abundant, transforming from delicate flowers into translucent red berries that can be eaten fresh or preserved for later in the year.
Growing food creates a close awareness of seasonal cycles. A berry ripening on the bush connects the garden to the table, and to the knowledge passed down through generations about how plants can feed and sustain us.
With this print, I wanted to capture the beauty of the red currant while also drawing attention to its place within this larger cycle of food, cultivation and seasonal abundance.
Each print is hand-printed by me in my studio in Stordal, Norway, using the reduction linocut technique. The image is created from a single lino block, which is progressively cut away as each colour is printed. Once the edition is complete, the block can no longer be used to make another edition.
