This week I have been working on two linocuts. I intend both to be one colour (black) but let's see how it goes. Both are the same image, but opposite ways around...

In one cut, the people on the tube are black and in the other, white.

When the people are black, the background holds the most negative space, so if I print over a photograph, most of the photograph will show through.

When I think about a tube I think about an enclosed space, a cave.

I wonder what would happen if I were to print the people over an outdoor space, eg fields, treees - lifing it out of context, making a connection between the 'trapped' people and their imagination.

I'm going to try both ideas. I'm more interested to see how the print with the people printed will work out.

Another thing I could do is treat both prints as different plates of the same final image, print them one on top of another in different colours (the way standard printing works, actually). I'd like to see how this works, but I am a little concerned about how I'll line up the images.
