Hand-carved woodblock Risograph
$30 - Ed. 10
Jacob Gutierrez
Coming from a desire to connect directly with the sacred animals he wanted to portray, artist Jacob Gutierrez spent seven months visiting ranchers and sheepherders around New Mexico and the Navajo Nation. His work documents the vital reciprocal relationship shared between humans and animals, exploring how generational knowledge, faith, and tradition ensure co-survival with the land.
By connecting the intimacy and hand of the woodblock with the responsiveness and feedback of the Risograph machine, Jacob evolved his printing craft over the course of this residency. Photographs taken during his travels were manually transferred and carved into woodblock prints that were then photographed and digitized into risograph prints. The final Risograph prints you see displayed here are the only current final representation of these original block prints, with the woodblock being presented as an artwork –– turning what was once an artistic process into a final product.
