it’s a challenge for me to embrace the imperfections of printmaking. I’m trying to begin using them in my process, rather than attempt to override them.

my goal was to think more about how the negative spaces will reveal the image compared to my usual method of drawing what i want the print to look like.

this time around i tried drawing white on black, focusing on what i would be cutting away versus what i’m leaving behind. i inverted the colours before transferring the image, marking what i will carve away.

i swear my lizards are just tiny cats hidden in a reptilian body, haha

this is me confused thinking i’d only been working on it for minutes only to check the time and realize hours had passed 😅
