barn

linocut.
8x10.

This image was probably my sixth or seventh attempt at making a barn, which is a subject matter I was definitely interested in. I ended up wanting to give myself the challenge of creating the image using as little outline as possible, letting the natural lines make up the image. I worked experimentally to convey foreground and chose to use curves to play against the parallel lines of the barn. While it's not my favorite print I've ever made, I have found that certain sections of it can be used to good effect.
