05 BLOCKPRINT PROJECT
Again, following the trend of obsession, blockprint was a project that was a bigger version of a stamp. We had to create a design that expressed another obsession, sketch it on to Ez Cut Linoleum and carve the product out. The obsession I used for this project was punishment, hence my subject. I initially was going to use a whip, but I felt it was too sexually charged, so I opted for the less common cousin, the flog. I chose to use this imagery because it got the point across quickly. It also is associated with the flogging of Jesus Christ which is something I've learned about all my life due to my early private school years.
