Hunters’ Moon
By Leslie Moore
Artist Statement
I am a relief printmaker whose subject is often animals. My work is influenced by Japanese printmakers, especially Ohara Koson (1877-1945), although I don鈥檛 use the same multi-woodblock technique. Instead, I practice the reduction method, cutting a single linoleum block and printing a succession of colors鈥攐ne after the other, one on top of the other鈥攗ntil the final image emerges and the block is reduced to almost nothing. There鈥檚 no going back. My artwork may be found in book illustrations and cover designs, private collections, and at the Local Color Gallery in Belfast, Maine.
