Woodblock Prints
Japanese method woodblock printing offers the ability to explore a variety of subjects within the limitations of the medium which helps to create a tighter visual aesthetic in which composition and graphic simplicity become key.
Printmaking in general allows me to create editions of handmade prints which are more affordable that one-off paintings, making tangible art more accessible and enjoyed by a wider audience. Japanese method printing, which is non-reductive, also allows me to create subsequent states or color editions, which is impossible to do with the reduction woodcut process which inherently destroys the blocks throughout the process.
