Recently when engraving into box wood, I started thinking about the object that is engraved, the presence of the piece of wood itself within the print, the object...this got me thinking about what could be used to engrave into, and how this could relate to the print itself.
I started printing with chopping boards, and then began looking at maple wood. When looking at maple wood I realised the most important object to me was made form maple wood. The violin. This got me thinking about connections between music making and printmaking, I began to see so many parallels, between the layers of music, composition, depth, pauses in a composition, movement, time...
I decided to try and find a source of violins to engrave into.
