"BLUE BRIDGE" is a multiblock woodcut, created from 4 hand-carved blocks of birch plywood.

Each woodblock is rolled with ink & individually printed to paper, one impression atop the next.

The overlapping color lent from each block creates a vibrant spectrum in the finished prints.








MAKING THE "BLUE BRIDGE" WOODCUT





The 4 woodblocks that make the "BLUE BRIDGE" woodcut.











The distant view of hills & bridge, seen through the tree branches, is printed only from color blocks.

This lends a gentle, subtler line to the background than the bold, black lines of forest,

giving the effect of distance to the beyond.




PUBLISHING THE "BLUE BRIDGE" WOODCUT





Each woodblock is individually hand-inked & printed to paper through a press.
