This has been cut into industrial lino, ink rolled & printed onto inked paper on white paper then manipulated in photoshop and reversed...
This one came from a design I saw in a book of women bathing, there are some simiularities to the resourced image.. (for lino you gotta be researching visual shapes that convert nicely into black & white... (comics are good, other printers, illustration annuals &c)
The rope dancer is another illustration that I hybridised. The original image was too intricate of line for my cutting tools so I simplified it down a bit. (another tendency when doing lino cuts). Female bodies , particularly dancers are a constant nice source of inspiration!
I can only imagine your workspace(s) involved in these processes.
I appreciate the many different cultural, social, religious, and ideological themes which run through your works. LOL and yeah, there's always the female body to fall back on!
So glad you are on my watch list, it's been fun to see what's next!
