‘Menorah’ is a wood engraving over a woodcut. It is similar in color and composition to ‘A Cut in the Sky’. While that strong image emphasizes the blue negative space between the black silhouettes, in ‘Menorah’ the lit candelabra is central, the blue and black woodcut the background. I’d like to think they could talk to each other.

This image is a combined wood engraving and woodcut, on Strathmore 300 printmaking paper. The woodcut background was printed first with two pressings for the sky and water. The bird image, carved on Corian, was then printed over the woodcut.
