This was a mixed media print consisting of linoleum cut over xerox print of a collage. The space on the left was left for a binding, as it was later made into a book with similar prints contributed by the rest of the class members. The prints in the book centered on the theme "Lost" (luckily no one mentioned the TV show); mine deals with the missing colony of colonial Roanoke Virginia. When the British suppliers to the village returned one year, the found the population gone with no clue to their whereabouts other than the word "Croatoan" carved in a tree in the village.
Done for my Print Paper Book Techniques Class with Jody Williams.
This is such an awesomely creative piece...the more I look at it, the more I see. The story of the colony is so haunting, isn't it?
