Somebody was too busy to
spend time on a New Year card? Sure looks like it
... You can't get much more minimal than this one:
grab a knife and chop a few small areas out of a
plank ...
(click image for a larger
version in a 'popup' window)
So after nearly eight years of work trying to
find a way to become a printmaker, this is where I
had got to - with a print no better than the first
attempts.
It was obviously time for a re-think about what
I was trying to do. I had known all along that I am
simply not the 'artist' type - no desire to fill
sheets of paper with my sketches, and nothing to
communicate in a visual form. (Have you noticed a
common feature to all my 'original' prints of these
years - all of women, and not one of them with a
visible face!)
The way forward? Still completely unclear. But
at this point, it was obviously time for another
ukiyo-e reproduction ...
