Melchisedek Shabazz

Surround Sound

Ink on Woodcut

12 x 36"

Surround Sound is my first woodcut created without the intention of being printed. This choice gives it a rare essence that likens to hearing a good song and not knowing the name. I wanted to capture a moment that can only be felt through music.
