一棵高大的多叶树生长在拖船版画店

在她最新的艺术作品中，瓦莱丽·鲁斯(Valerie Lueth)的根和枝条错综复杂地交织在一起，形成了一幅《分支》。为了创造tree的微妙变化，Lueth首先绘制并雕刻了3/4英寸桦木胶合板上的关键块。接下来，她通过按压的方式将图像转移到三个色块上，然后手绘和雕刻三个色块中的每个色块。最后，使用非常精确的对齐方式，Lueth将四个模块依次打印在一张纸上，以创建完整的艺术品。这位艺术家将分支描述为“一代”和“成长”的图像，它有30英寸高，12英寸宽。这种印花目前可以在拖船印花商店的网站上预订。

In her newest artwork, Valerie Lueth has grown intricately intertwined roots and branches to form a 4-color woodblock print titled ‘BRANCHING.’ Lueth, who owns and operates Tugboat Printshop (previously) in Pittsburgh, hand-illustrated one key block and three additional color blocks to combine black, yellow, blue, and grey in the formation of the tree. To create the tree’s subtle shifts in tone and shape, Lueth first drew and carved the key block on 3/4 inch birch plywood. Next, she transferred the image via press onto the three color blocks, and hand-drew and carved each of the three color blocks. Finally, using very precise alignment, Lueth printed all four blocks sequentially on one sheet of paper to create the complete artwork.The artist describes BRANCHING as “an image of generation and growth,and it scales thirty inches tall and twelve inches wide. The print is currently available for pre-order on the Tugboat Printshop website. Lueth also shares her works in progress on Instagram.
