“We Swear It’s Butter” Linocut Print

Description

This handcrafted linocut print depicts a reimagined butter box with the phrase “We swear it’s butter just trust us!” Part of a larger collection examining the American food industry’s marketing practices, this print invites viewers to question the transparency of food labeling and our willingness to accept manufacturers’ assertions at face value. A perfect addition to any kitchen, dining area, or contemporary art collection that values both aesthetic appeal and social commentary.

The creation process:
1. The design is sketched onto the linoleum block.
2. A portion of the design is carved.
3. The ink is rolled onto the surface of the block.
4. The paper is pressed into the block, then pulled off and allowed to dry.
5. The block is washed, the next design added, and carved again – each color is a separate carving step.
6. The print is fully dried, signed, and framed.
7. It makes its way (hopefully) to your home! 🙂
