Two-colour linoleum block prints — 22 x 30

The prints, which measure 22" x 30" unframed, and are printed on Stonehenge White, 200lb. archival paper, are an exploration of three dimensional space utilizing lines and shapes which never touch.

Specifically, they explore the sense of depth and dimension that can be achieved even when creating a composition in which none of the visual elements actually come into contact with each other.

This is possible because of a process known as "visual closure", which is defined as "the process or ability to fill in missing parts of a visual stimulus..."

The twisting and turning lines weave a pattern designed to create a visual metaphor to life, in all its frenetic energy and pace. The red lines represent those unique elements in life which, while they appear similar to everything around them, stand out in their own unique way.
