About this work

This is a simple black-and-white face carved into wood. The head is framed like it’s growing out of a tree trunk, with rough lines showing bark. The eyes are big and round, the nose is a straight line, and the mouth is small with a slight curve. The artist used a tool to cut directly into the wood, leaving thick, uneven lines. That’s how woodcut prints work—ink fills the carved areas, then gets pressed onto paper. Look up woodcut to see how this print was made.
