Ammonite Falls Linocut

Writer's picture: Savanna LawlessSavanna Lawless


 

Creating a piece of art can be a journey, and for me, this print of Ammonite Falls in Nanaimo is a testament to persistence. It took two years to complete, but the process taught me more than I expected.


After struggling with the initial transfer, I threw it in a drawer and forgot about it for a year. It wasn’t until after my first year of graphic design at VIU that I found the linocut again.



Cleaning my art studio, I came across the forgotten piece, and I decided to give it another shot. This time, with a fresh mindset and more experience, the project finally came together.


The print is based on a photo I took of Ammonite Falls, a stunning 30-foot waterfall in northern Nanaimo.


When I captured the image, the stairs hadn’t been built yet, so I had to rappel down a muddy cliff—worth every second!


The carving process for this print was more intricate than any of my previous work, making it one of the most challenging yet rewarding projects I’ve tackled. While I look forward to future projects, I admit there’s some hesitation—this one set the bar high!
