Time for a new edition of ‘Noh Spacetime’!

Years ago I stumbled upon a book about Noh in a used bookstore. I collect masks and am interested in Japanese culture, so I bought, ‘Noh, The Classical Theatre’ by Yasuo Nakamura. I was very surprised to read how the author described the difference between the men and women characters and the supernatural “beings not of this world” in Phantasmal Noh. 🧵1/n

Playing with letters and form for a linocut as part of my Happy Tree series. Still very much in my head, the text will be partially obscured by the branches of the tree. I’m also toying with the idea of a seedling and whether I want to go golden or square. Lots of playing yet to do.

I’m experimenting with kitchen litho on aluminum foil! On Thursday I took a great online workshop & managed to make a very small edition of wolpertinger* prints. It’s tricky but also extraordinary to get detailed prints with household items like aluminum foil, vegetable oil, cola and water.

I tried different papers & printed them by hand with glass baren & wooden spoon. It’s a lot of elbow grease!
