I started cutting small lino blocks of text back during the first pandemic lockdown in 2020. I intended to record 100 words and phrases that summed up my experience of the pandemic and lockdown, and work them into a three dimensional piece of art, but I found the process so depressing. It was too much for me while we were still going through the pandemic and since then I’ve found it hard to look back on my feelings at the time.
But I’m finally able to look at and work with them and I went down to Swansea Print Workshop this afternoon to print some. I’m working mainly onto fabric but I tried them out on paper first – proof printing them as new unprinted blocks are best “seasoned” first.
