Print Title: Moon Shadow
Paper Dimension: 10 x 15 inches
Image Dimension: 7 x 13 inches
Block: Plank cherry and cork
Ink: Daniel Smith water-based and dry pigment
Paper: Arches Black
Edition: 56
Comments: Process: Still working with cork to achieve softer images. I wanted
to see what cork would print like on black paper and use the paper as a shadow
coming through the semi-transparent inks. As a bonus, the cork warped when I
washed it after proofing and thus made the roller ride on the edges of the moon,
making the ink in the center a bit softer. I added irridescent dry pigment (Daniel
Smith) to all the colors to make the print glow--look at it under very dim light.
Image: Exploring Yoga poses again and the marriage of man/woman and nature.
This seems more pertinent these days when the impact of humans on nature is
finally the topic of talk in the media.
I thought of over-printing the figure once more, but I liked the melding of
woman and moon, set off by the darker paper between the two.
