Detailed Wonders

Figuring out new and exciting ways to create textures with a carving knife and playing around with positive and negative space are the driving forces behind Sarah Bogdal’s work. Below, we showcase some of her stunning prints that she created from carving intricate details into linoleum blocks. Sarah’s goal is to transport viewers into the settings of her prints, pulling them into real or fictional worlds as they navigate the white and black lines. Sarah’s hope is that viewers will sit with her work for a bit longer than usual, and are delighted by small details they find within it.
