Handcarved relief print measuring 8" x 8". The image has been carved out of by hand and printed onto a high-quality acid-free 140 lb (300 gsm) cold press paper. This is a single-layer woodblock print that took countless hours to carve. This is printed in a limited edition run of 20 prints and will never be reproduced.
The imagery of a run-down and beached fishing boat is a fairly iconic image. The story that this image ellicits within the viewer is what captivated my attention. I chose to represent this scene due to the image showcasing human waste. This boat was left to rot and wither away from the elements. I am always curious as to how or why a boat has been deemed "unfixable" and is discarded rather than repaired. The challenge of representing representing the complexities in the woodgrain while balancing that with a simplified representation of the water and beach is what makes this composition powerful in my eyes. My hope is that the viewer is captivated and intrigued by the image so that they are able to decipher and interpret their own meaning through a narrative.
This print fits into a 13" x 13" or larger square frame with a substantial mat around the image. this is, in my opinion, a breathtaking and powerful piece of artwork to display within your house, apartment, or business.
