2000 Woodcut
19"x16"
Edition 32

Block:    Cherrywood
Ink:        Mixes of copper/bronze/burnt sienna & umber
Paper:    Daphne
Process: One block reduction, three stages
Image:    I started with the figures lightly drawn on the wood, as I usually start a figurative drawing. For this particular piece I was fortunate to have two friends pose for me. The plan was to have the figures floating in the picture plane, but after I oiled the block with linseed oil the richest grain appeared as if by magic and I had to carve it in the background.
