His Own Interpretation

A diptych presents two views of a double bass standing upright against a mottled ochre-brown ground: at left the instrument appears as a flat black silhouette, and at right the same form is rendered in red-orange with black linear detailing showing its scroll, pegs, f-holes, and strings. Both panels share a red-and-black finely hatched horizontal surface along the bottom edge suggesting a floor or shadow. "His Own Interpretation," a 2020 woodcut by Nana Shiomi.
