NOTES
Celmins remarked about her ocean woodcuts: “I loved doing it. I mean, my work has always been so involved in the ‘physical’ that cutting into the wood with this little knife was very satisfying! I lived for months with my face inches away from that block, cutting this way and that. I never really had a technique…just trying to build a solid piece that could hold still and move at the same time. When you come very close to the print I think you feel the touch of the knife.”
