An early exploration in printmaking, this work uses lino block techniques to develop simplified star motifs on aged paper. The repetition of form reflects an interest in pattern, process, and material, while engaging with the challenge of working on delicate historical surfaces. These compositions mark an initial investigation into visual language that continues to evolve in later works.
