Mythologies #1

A near-monochrome woodcut dominated by dense black, rendering a pale, streaked vertical form cascading down the center of the composition against a darker, mottled surround, suggesting a waterfall or rock face. The surface is heavily textured with fine vertical grain and scratchy striations throughout, giving the image a rough, atmospheric quality with no discernible human figures. *Mythologies #1*, an oil-based woodcut on paper by Yuasa Katsutoshi, 2007.
