Untitled

This untitled woodblock print is part of Wozniak's continuing engagement with mokuhanga following his 2018 visiting research appointment at the Tokyo University of the Arts, where he studied both printmaking and Nagashizuki papermaking. The two practices are closely linked in his work: the long-fibred [kozo](/glossary/kozo) [washi](/glossary/washi) produced by Nagashizuki carries water and pigment differently than machine-made paper, and the mokuhanga impression depends on the paper's capacity to receive moisture without buckling or tearing. The untitled designation, common across this body of work, is consistent with a practice oriented toward process rather than subject. The image is likely abstract or partly abstract, foregrounding the carved surface, the registration of overlapping blocks via the kentō system, and the soft tonal transitions that water-based pigment produces on absorbent paper. Wozniak's broader artistic research integrates this Japanese material vocabulary with his lithographic teaching practice in Olsztyn, treating each medium as a distinct recording surface for the gesture.
