While I was doing my undergrad in graphic de- www.schindellgallery.ca/exhibi�ons/2021/under-the-sun
sign, I had a few classes in prin�ng techniques
and an en�re semester on engraving. This spar-
ked at the �me a special interest in combining
graphic design with a more manual and ar�s�c
approach for some works. And while I was
doing my master’s åprogram at Regent College,
in Chris�anity and the Arts, decided to work on
a series of images as part of my final project
which were all made with linocuts. This happe-
ned during the pandemic, in a �me where clas-
ses and everything went online, I felt the need
to work on something more embodied and less
digital. This art-making technique enables to
create reproducible, yet unique pieces of art.

The process involves engraving a piece of lin-
oleum (or wood), which works as a stamp.
A�erwards, paint is applied over the linoleum,
and with a blank piece paper, a copy can be
made. Since every step is made by hand, each
copy is unique. Even the small flaws become
part of the aesthe�cs and gives this art its cha-
racter. Through the process I am remind of my
own imita�ons, and how God con�nues to
work in my own life.
