Topography (Mini V) Dance Adinkra Symbol: FihankraAcrylic Paint & Woodcut Print on Gallery Wrap Canvas 4" x 4" x 1. 5" 2020 I love wood with its textures and patterns. A Dremel tool was used to carve out the natural lines in a piece of Luan wood. The wood plate started at 5ft x 18 but it wouldnt fit on the printing press. I cut off 10 which left almost 50 of printing surface. The paper used is Lennox 100, off white, 250 gsm (about 140 lb) neutral pH, acid free. I created a 6 ft x 12 ft woodcut print
