Mordor

Reduction print

4.25"x5.75"

I worked the wood grain on this block as a demonstration for my students and saw this strange little landscape in my mind. It reminded me of how I imagined Mordor as a child reading LOTR, as it felt like toxic mist rolling off of a barren landscape. The print is a little out of my comfort zone, but I really tried to listen to the block and use the wood grain to my advantage.
