The Choice
Method: iPad, cut paper, woodcut
Date: 2024
Course: Royal Drawing School short printmaking course
Taking Yeats's poem 'The Choice' as inspiration, I created an imaginary dreamscape of people walking up a hill to an old house (based on my late Grandmother's house, which we had just sold). The initial sketch was digital and I also cut out the house using glue, paper and ink, before printing a rough woodcut.
