#Woodcut

A woodcut is the luxurious ordeal of carving a block of wood, slathering it with ink, and pressing it with abandon onto paper’s surface. Each slight misalignment reeks of the artisan’s obsession and defeat. The method’s antiquity serves merely as an excuse called “tradition,” forcing modern souls into superfluous analog torment. In the shadow of mass production, one can almost hear the laments of artists ensnared by wood shavings and ink.
