Woodcut Monoprint

41" x 31" (framed)

Image Description:

This is a three color woodcut monoprint. It is one of a kind impression from a series in which the blocks were printed in slightly different positions. A small change in position drastically changes the moire effect of the intersecting spirals. The original Sharpie spiral drawings were carved into woodblocks using a CNC (computer numerical control) router.
