This image shows a dark, textured square with swirling lines that look like carved wood. In the bottom left corner, there’s a simple white shape that resembles a feather or a piece of broken glass. The lines and marks are uneven, giving it a rough, handmade feel. The artist used a tool to carve directly into the wood, leaving deep grooves and shadows. This method makes the image look almost like a shadowy relief. Next, check out woodcut to see how artists create prints this way.
