Esteban Klassen.
Jaguars.
Today was our final day working together. All the artists tried to get some final done. Esteban printed his first bigger print today. He was almost done one plate the other day which I was immensely looking forward to seeing with two jaguars. Next time I look, he has carved away everything on half the plate, because he cut through one of the legs by accident and he didn't think it was going to look good anymore. I'm so very glad he was able to finish the piece above. He is a very introverted but highly creative artist and his compositions are quite sophisticated. Jorge Carema also printed his first bigger plate today which also turned out quite wonderfully. Both these artists have understood how the positive/negative space works in blockprinting, while some of the others still make their images mostly in the negative (white outlines and shapes on black ground).

One of the artists who made participated for the first time this time made huge progress within this week as you can see between the two pieces at the bottom, one from Monday the other from Friday. The newer piece is much more refined and less clumsy than the first, both in composition and in execution. I wonder what would happen if we would continue to meet regularly.
