About this work

This print shows two big, rough floral shapes against a dark background. The lines are jagged and uneven, like they were carved by hand. One side has a plant with thick leaves and a rounded base, while the other looks like a twisted vine with a face-like shape in the center. The texture is grainy, with some areas almost scraped away. This is a woodcut, meaning the artist carved the design into wood and then printed it. Check out woodcut to see how this technique works.
