Needham's Anne Nydam Will Showcase Her Carved Wood and Rubber Block Prints in February
The Friends is please to announce that Anne Nydam of Needham is the February Artist of the Month. The exhibit, titled "Some Creatures Great and Small", will feature block prints, which are made from wood blocks and rubber blocks carved by Nydam. Nydam's works will be in display at the library throughout the month.
"Animals are one of my favorite subjects because of the wonderful variety of form and pattern they display," said Nydam. "Making these images helps me not to take the amazing creatures of the world for granted, and I hope it will do the same for everyone who views my work."
Nydam sketches a design on paper if using rubber, or if using wood, directly on the block, and then carves out the parts that are to remain white. She then rolls ink on the block and presses the paper on top. Each print is then signed and numbered and the edition labeled. Most of her prints are made using water-based ink on plain white acid-free paper.
