Shaky beginnings. Test prints of my first two woodcuts. I still haven’t been able to wrap my head around the fact that what is positive in drawing is negative in relief prints. I’ll get there someday 
For the first piece I’ve mostly followed the wood grain and I like the feel and flow. Like a child I was happy to be able to incorporate the face that I could see in the grain. The specs are of course an addition and so is the mouth but the rest of the profile was “found”. I truly enjoy the freedom of doing as I please.
While working on the piece the title that came to mind is “Blind and drowning” I sent it to a friend to get some feedback and she saw something in it that I hadn’t but then it became crystal clear. And then I looked and some more!! The differences in what we saw reminded me of the TAT test that I had taken in business school.
The TAT is popularly known as the picture interpretation technique because it uses a standard series of 30 provocative yet ambiguous pictures about which the subject must tell a story. In the case of adults and adolescents of average intelligence, a subject is asked to tell as dramatic a story as they can for each picture, including:
- what has led up to the event shown
- what is happening at the moment
- what the characters are feeling and thinking, and
- what the outcome of the story was
