Block Print
OverviewTitle - The Star
Size - 22.9 cm by 15.2 cm Medium - black ink and hand carved linoleum block Date - October 2023 ExhibitionThis medium was pretty new to me as an artist. I had never worked with a linoleum block before for block printing, I have used wood before to create a block print which feels very different compared to using this linoleum. There is a difference with the different contrasts that I use, there is no mid tones only black and white using outlines and big parts of the linoleum. I think that I grew as an artist using this different medium. My piece refers to the age of tarot cards, this artist Pamela Colman Smith and Arthur Edward Waite they created one of the most popular tarot decks, The Rider Waite collection. My piece refers to their first deck and a mix of another artist's tarot deck, Keith Haring.
