Censorship
| Description: |
sugar-lift etching printed on handmade paper. Edition of 5. This print represents a page of a book. All the words are masked in an effort to erase information that could educate and liberate people. This image of censorship also references the Iraqi flag. It is a metaphor for the impossibility of cultural obliteration and the immortality of values, like the drive to learn and be free. This collaborative project was created in Spike Print Studio, Bristol, UK. It is a sugar lift etching printed on handmade paper. The plate was bitten over a long period of time to create an embossed line, which is suggestive of a healing wound (Retrieved from IUCAT November 8, 2019). |
