Title
New Moon Studio - hand pulled woodcuts by Jacque Harper
Description
As you view the following images in my gallery please keep in mind that each of the images was printed from it's own woodcut board, like the one shown on my homepage.
The image of the tree was carved in reverse on the board and everything that I wanted to be white in the final print had to be removed. If you have ever seen any other woodcut print you can see that my images look much different.
I was trained and graduated in printmaking and since then I've developed my own techniques of using a combination of woodcarving tools and wire brushes to give depth, texture and volume to my work. Most woodcut prints are simply black to white and rather linear. I am able to create shades of gray and textural volume by using the inherent properties of the wood's surface and my own vision of "capturing the light" on the image surfaces.
