Aib Ene Zogo, 2015

Linocut, printed in relief, with hand wiping and applied watercolour, 100 x 190 cm

Daniel O'Shane's relief linocut tells the story of Aib and the sacred waterhole. He created it with carefully considered hand wiping and applied watercolour to the lino cut, something which really adds impact in colour and is something that I will be exploring more within my own FMP work to reinforce the vibrancy of colour in India. His inclusion of totem animals and bird shows a connection with nature, a theme that has run throughout my FMP project. Indian natives connection with the land and nature was hugely prevalent during my stay.
