Ornament
Paul Nash (one of my favorites) was a British wood engraver who took an unconventional approach to the medium. His subject matter was often expressionistic and abstract. To understand him better and try to crawl into his head I interpreted his engraving called ‘Ornament’ (1923) as a linocut print. There are a few others of his I’d like to practice on.
