Metal Block Printing- Geloso

course Project / Mava340 Art of the Book

Spring 2017

This printing project had phases of; rasping the metal, carving the metal plates, coating the metal with paint & transferring the print with cylinder press manually. 

The work is called "Geloso" which is jealous in italian; is referring the longing to nature of the people in big, crowded cities and their jealousy of the beings that are living in the heart of the nature. Carving of the mountains represents the richness, immortality of the nature and the demoiselle represents the freedom of being part of these serene lands.
