A Hand Carved Story | Karen Olanna

CENTER GALLERY
A Hand Carved Story | Karen Olanna

This show, A Hand Carved Story, was conceived after finding and printing my very old woodblocks. I corralled these old and newly carved prints into a made up storyline, which should be viewed in sequence (an extended version in book form is also available). No words are needed, as block printing remains a unique record of life through the hand's ability to express.
