“1-19”Relief Print Carving (MDF) 11-22-2024
“1-19” is a chronological relief print representative of my identity. One print represents one year of my life, with MDF carved out as I continue to unveil more of myself.

Process is a big part of this work, using the experience of carving to guide the lines of the print. The lines flow in a way that mirror my internal experience of growth during the corresponding year; some fluid and circular, and some hard and sharp. 

Much like my progression of personal perception, none of the prints could be corrected after being carved. The method of printing is to use one relief block that is continually carved into. This continual carve, print, carve, print technique displays every step that makes up the final image.
 
This display acts similarly to how I feel about the display of my identity growth over my 19 years of life.
