Creation Means Carnage

© 2016 Hannah Phelps

At least in reduction woodblock printmaking.

For instance, this will be a little seascape print, but right now it is a piece of shina plywood cut into three pieces and unmercifully, though carefully, attacked with sharp objects.

Tomorrow, the torture will continue - the wood will be smothered in ink and squeezed through steel rollers with some paper. 

The things we do for love. Of woodcuts.
