Linoleum Prints

Artist Statement:

For this project we were tasked to carve a linoleum stamp, and print on paper and a new material.

I wanted to have a simple design to make sure that the lines would be crisp and clean when printing. I have done hard designs before on fabric, so I was nervous for the outcome but was pretty proud of the way it turned out. For the darker print on the cloth, I went back and darkened it and made harsher edges to make it have more contrast.

For materials I use linoleum blocks, carving tools, black ink, and black fabric ink. I really liked using these materials because it's a trial and error type of process. I think you have to have a patience when using this material.
