Description
This is a woodcut of the red sandstone Double Arch in the Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. Standing at 112 feet, this double arch is the tallest arch in the park.
Working with sketches drawn on location and the occasional reference photo, Royden Card creates a series of drawings with ink and brush to work out a final design. He then reverses the final drawing and transfers it to the block (preferably cherry), and will then spend many hours carving, making slight changes as he goes along. Card prints all of his woodcuts.
