Truth

"Truth" Linocut Print 3 inches by 4 inches.

Linocut prints are created by carving out the negative space around the subject. It's carved out of linoleum with a carving tool. The entire design is created as a mirror image of the desired print. Once carved the lino-print is inked with a roller and pressed onto paper.

This linocut print is one of seven prints I created as illustrations to a series on the marks of a disciple. This series showcases some character traits that a Christ follower should have, and/or should be working towards.

This particular work of art is titled "Truth". It's an image of a construction worker measuring out a "true" (straight) line. The idea of having an instrument like a ruler that sets the standard for every line and measurement used on a project is important. This is a reminder of the solid foundation of truth that anchors all which exists.
