Exhibition Text: Carving a block print using linoleum was a surprising and unpredictable experience for me. Whilst completing this project, I have realized that I've gotten used to doing the conventional sketches and painting, I haven't really practiced anything else. Creating the block print created an unanticipated feeling because I wasn't in my comfort zone. There were no hues and you couldn't erase the mistakes you carved, so you had to create your own techniques to finish the carving you created. I felt as if I grew exponentially as an artist during this project because I learned to adapt in unfamiliar situations. |
