Linoleum / Gelatin Print

Artist Statement: The subject of these prints are child abuse. I decided to make this theme because it is important to spread awareness. I used both gelatin and linoleum to print them on the paper. I used red and black ink to make the image pop out to the viewer. At first, I had no idea of what the print was going to be. I had made a background before the idea of child abuse came into my mind. I then had to use the prints that made most sense. The meaning is to show people about the scenarios that could arise in an abusive home. If it could be stronger, I would most likely make the black image more standout than the red, to make it pop.
