2D Assignment 1 Ideation

Since the project focused broadly on the idea of how we are able to express ourselves and our emotions through 2 dimensional images, to ensure that my 18 final works are homogeneous (I just like it like that),  I decided to pick a medium and see how far I can go with it. My choice is an old (really old) friend: Linoleum printing.

With linoleum sheets, I can do prints depending on my carvings, but at the same time, I realised that I can use all sides of the linoleum sheet to ink my paper as well. While the large flat side allows me to make prints, the thin side creates thin lines, scratches even, onto the paper.
