“Smoking Candle” by Claire Vogelgesang of Bird Song Studio, 2024, linocut print on paper, 5.5×7.5.
ABOUT THIS PIECE
“I love making linocut prints. Working with just negative and positive space is such a great challenge, and I love working in three dimensions when carving the block to make the print. Linocut has been a really great addition to my creative practice. This piece in particular was fun to make, as glowing candles are a favorite motif of mine and one that shows up in my work a lot.”
