Using a laser to etch the wood has allowed many opportunities, not just to recreate some of my drawings and paintings, but to create new work. My learning path of image manipulation software and how to create an image that etches into wood in a way that allows for an exciting woodcut print has been a slow process. Creating an exciting image with photo manipulation software is not too difficult, but creating an image that can be broken down to just black and white for woodcut engraving is another matter. These woodcut images are then often combined with rolled on relief inks to form the completed woodcut print. I see art as a way to express something, versus just represent something and feel that art should evoke some sort of emotion in the viewer. I am fascinated by even ordinary things like looking up at trees, or looking at shadows playing across the ground. web site gallery: dennisartist.imagekind.com email: dennishgordon@yahoo.com Learn More About Dennis Gordon Creating Art is about Creating Magic.
