We live in a time that places great emphasis on the primacy of thinking, but I've found intuition a surer guide, feeling a wiser teacher, and imagination a more rewarding companion. Carol Summers found the reversal on image in printing disconcerting, and the staccato edges of traditional woodcuts seldom fit his imagery. Instead, he uses dull tools that tear the wood and rolls the ink directly on the paper with the cut block underneath, like a rubbing. He then sprays the print with a solvent that dissolves the ink, enhancing the brilliance of the colour and softening the edges. Sometimes he prints on the back of the paper and draws the ink through to the front with the solvent, muting the colours without opacifying them.
