Description

This long woodcut shows a figure hung by their feet with two heads above it. This piece looks similar to the hanging man tarot card with similar themes. This woodcut print is a reduction print. The lightest layer turns into the darkest at the end. The chatter is created from the past inks not carved away. The artist uses mark-making and direction to add expression to the piece.
