Print four of a suite of six prints with six text pages
Multi-color woodcut and heliorelief woodcut with hand coloring
At Graphicstudio, Chicago created Voices from the Song of Songs, a portfolio of six images and six text pages. She worked with Marcia Falk’s new translation of the ancient biblical text, which emphasizes its human and erotic nature as well as the mutuality of desire.
The images fuse the heliorelief photographic woodblock method with lithography, while the text pages in both English and Hebrew are rendered in heliorelief for the beautiful background gradations and polymer plastic relief for the text, along with handcoloring by the artist.
