Description
In Landscape, Kachrimani handles more methods of engraving and it is these which create the impressions of the light, which here are without doubt weak. She has used different tools to engrave the river, the tree-trunks, the foliage. The traces of the tools themselves, repeated on the plate of the woodcut, are transformed into patches which perform various functions.
