This print shows a woman in a striped dress holding a white tent-like structure. Around her, a cat, owl, and bat sit or fly in a dark, tangled forest. The background glows yellow, with swirling lines and a big sun-like shape. The artist carved this image into linoleum, then printed it—notice the bold black lines and textured areas. The mix of animals and the woman’s calm face might hint at a dreamlike scene. Check out Hernando Tejada for more of his carved prints.
