THE GREAT RACE
A Conversation with the Animals of the Chinese Zodiac
This whimsical grouping of wood block prints depicts the Animals of the Chinese Zodiac, offering some insight into the characteristics and the elements associated with the year of each animal.
The 48”X30” block prints are created by carving into a matrix of Medex, a form of MDF board. The image begins with a simple line drawing that is transferred to the block. Once the block is sealed, brush and sumi ink are used to define the lights and darks. It is only when the carving begins that the details appear; gouges and knives are the tools that bring each animal to life. Once the carving is complete, the block is sealed again in preparation for printing. Printers ink is rolled onto the surface, covering only the areas that stand in relief, the paper is placed onto the inked block and run through the press, transferring the image onto the sheet of paper. An original Print is born.
I find myself reworking these images often, exploring them through a variety of processes, engraving, woodcut, monotype, and lithography, they range in size from 2” sq up 48”X30”. As I continue to revisit the animals of the Zodiac, they reveal a bit more of their characteristics and symbolism associated with each year. I feel at ease with each of these creatures, and never grow tired of our conversation.
