Carol Acquilano
I’ve been doing very little design planning for these most recent prints (reduction woodcuts), working more spontaneously during the carving and inking phases. Consequently it has minimized the complexity of the process. It’s more fun! My imagery derives from a continuous stream of sketching and painting that happens in the studio, in nature and in airplanes.
