Description: |
three color woodcut on Magnani Pescia. Edition of Seeing photographs of Al-Mutanabbi Street before and after the bombing, I made an image specific to the street but universal. Within the chaos of flying wood and stones I drew the particular characteristics of one pillar from a colonnade on Al-Mutanabbi Street. My palette consists of purple as my dark because it vibrates with other hues as a black would not; yellow suggesting sunlight filtering through ruins, white for the bleached out sky above. The giant flower cried out to be red-orange, its energy thrusting up through the boards and stones as indestructible as the spirit of human creativity(retrieved from IUCAT on Nov. 1, 2019.). |
