About this work

This print shows a rough, blocky face staring forward. The colors are mostly black and rusty orange, with jagged lines cutting across the shapes. The face looks twisted, almost like it’s been turned upside down or smashed. The artist used a tool to carve into wood, then inked it to create this print. That’s why the lines are so sharp and the colors feel heavy. Try looking up *woodcut* to see how this technique works.
