Printing by hand is not ideal for all my work, but when the work is hand-carved into linoleum, then a printing press is necessary. My goal for this work was to represent my metamorphosis as a person, and I did that by writing words into a silhouette of myself that I hope to reflect my future self. These words are printed in warm colors to represent my happy and bright future and the words were all handwritten by me to show how personal this project was and how much control I was able to have. Carefully crafting and carving words into their rightful places taught me how tedious this art-making process was, but it was one that could really show the artist's personal style.
