My images for my woodblock represent the theme of a 'Broken Ireland'- the 'broken people of Ireland' caused by the recession and the current economic crisis. Pablo Picassos' Cubist work along with George Braque inspired my designs.
These are my finished woodblock prints. The First is a reduction print using 3 colors- yellow, turquoise and black. The heads represent the shattered people of this country. The second is a basic black and white woodcut. The head is controlled by a puppet string- a metaphor for how the Government is controlling the country. I played around with chine colle and collage. I really enjoyed woodblock and want to practice it more again on the next brief.
