Module 1

The first module explored linocut prints, where a single image is printed from at least 3 separate segments. After carving the entire lino block, it is then split into individual “jigsaw” pieces. I started my folkloric concept with the Green Man, a figure seen as an architectural motif alluding to a pagan past. I wanted an element of symmetry, so I drew only half the face, which I then transferred to the block. The series of prints were intended to show a transition of seasons.
