Jigsaw Print

Each color in this jigsaw print is an individual piece of wood, put together like a puzzle and hand-pressed onto paper with a barren. The black lines come from a keyplate, which is a separate piece of plywood, hand carved.

Some relief printmaking I’ve been noodling around with! This is a 3 color reduction print on linoleum. The design is based on an 14th century Arab manuscript, depicting a Pisces sign in honor of my daughter.
