Ganesh, the elephant-headed god, is honoured as the remover of obstacles and the patron of new beginnings. He is traditionally invoked before a journey, a venture or a fresh start. In this linocut his gentle, wise presence is carved in bold, confident lines, with his familiar trunk, large ears and rounded belly.
This is a test print, pulled while I was testing the block. Test prints have a raw, immediate character, and every carved line and textured mark is visible in the ink.
