Linocut, also known as lino print, lino printing or linoleum art, is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for a relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed. The linoleum sheet is inked with a roller (called a brayer), and then impressed onto paper or fabric. The actual printing can be done by hand or with a printing press.
We were allotted a theme 'our parallel universe' based on which rough ideations were created. The concept of my work here was simply to represent my parallel universe which I imagine are the mountains and the greens. I wish to be amidst them all the time while my actual tangible self is not. Hence my mind remains in the constant parallel drawns by the want and actuality of it.
