90 linocut prints tell the story of a female character as she travels mundanely through her day and mysteriously through time and space. Set in Vancouver (printed in Sepia) and Toronto (printed in Black), Back + Forth uses distinct Canadian landscapes to touch on issues of identity, sexuality, loneliness and loss. I made each block, sanded it and carved it by hand. The final prints were printed on a Vandercook Press.
