SALUD!

This vibrant reduction woodcut captures the spirit of celebration and community embodied in the word "Salud!" - a toast to health, life, and shared moments. The reduction technique, which involves progressively carving away the woodblock to build up layers of color, mirrors the communal nature of celebration where each moment builds upon the last.

The bold, expressive marks of the woodcut process emphasize the handmade quality of traditional toasting and gathering, creating a visual parallel between the craft of printmaking and the craft of community building.
