| The "Black" separation for the Tree linocut (shaded areas) |
The shaded areas will be left on the block and will be printed with black ink, everything else will be cut away.
It's funny, twenty years ago in 1991, it was all in the day's work to do sophisticated colour separations on the computer, everything automated and fantastic quality. Today, along with millions of others, I'm working out which shape goes on which block with pen and paper, and cutting it laboriously by hand, shaving by shaving, and getting satisfaction and enjoyment from the process. I feel there's some deep lesson to be learned if I could only think what it is.

I've been thinking - maybe it's something to do with having a more personal touch with your creation so that you're really feeling the coordination between eye, hand, tools and material.
Or more simply, a case of keeping in touch with your inner bipedal ape...!
ye old ways are the best lol
