What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?           The world would split open

Today in college I was reading this book on German Expressionist Woodcuts. My project is about memories and the feelings they evoke and I have been looking into the work of Kathe Kollwitz as she also deals with similar themes such as coming to terms with the past. There is something quite creepy about these woodcuts, the subjects in Kollwitz's work particularly appear to be in some form of psychological agony. I want to convey feelings of loss and absence in my work and this book has inspired me to design my own lino cuts.
