Wiltshire Horn Ram

Rosemary Farrer.

Wiltshire Horn Ram is, as the name suggests a Wiltshire breed of sheep. The Rams have amazing curly horns. I was fascinated by the shapes and textures of the wool and the horns. Lino really lends itself to these and is very satisfying to cut. This print is printed as an edition of 30 on cream paper and is unframed.

Rosemary Farrer is an artist printmaker who trained in Fine Art at Camberwell School of Art and the Ruskin School of Drawing. She uses various techniques including etching, aquatint, lino and woodblocks and enjoys using the special qualities of these different methods, whether it be the graphic, dynamic marks of a linocut, or the subtle tones and textures achievable in an aquatint. Her woodblock print ‘Track’ was exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition this year and sold out at the Private View.
