Kem Lady, Hoi An

​

This is a unique, experimental woodcut as part of my Hoi An series in 2019. Made with 4 layers using the reduction method where you gradually reduce the block as you carve each separate layer state by state. On the third layer I flipped the block upside down to give a mirror reflection effect. The image was drawn from a photo I took whilst walking through the old town on a hot summer’s day with the Kem Lady ‘ice cream seller’ cycling past ringing her bell to advertise.
