Image: I carved Out of the Wood III through VI as a demo during an art festival. It seems when I am out demonstrating this art, I am relaxed. Pulling these prints on the spot for people who watched was very rewarding for me. The unique swirls of the grain in each piece of wood inspire a human figure (often); I "see" the nature of the wood and the nature of humans very alike in their sweeping graceful twirls and curves. I am always drawn to the classic figure in classic poses, I imagine a happy artistic leftover from all those figure drawing classes.


PROCESS
Woodcuts and wood engravings are made by drawing an image on a block of wood, usually cherry in my case, then carving out the negative spaces. After carving, what is left is a big "stamp" of the desired image. I roll ink with a roller over the woodcut, place a piece of handmade paper on the inked block, apply pressure and transfer the image on the paper.
