Revisiting an old image, I made this linocut:
which led me to compose a little list poem:
a maze – an apple – a rind – a wind – a skein – a skin – asking – a plea – a leap
escape the maze
Getting the lettering right was a bit of a struggle, what with mirroring letters for the linocut and then turning the lino while working on it and finding some of them now looked ‘right’ (i.e. wrong!) because they look the same when mirrored or rotated. That is, the rotation ‘undoes’ the mirroring, if you lose track of which way is up. It was clearly beyond me after a while, hence the backwards s. But that little squiggle gave me the title, which then seemed to apply as well to the whole image as to the s typo.
Happy accidents (and not a total non sequitur from my last post).
