ClearVu, by Carole Nelson, MFA’65, was shown at California’s
Brisbane City Hall Gallery in April. “I have always found woodblock
prints to be the most inclusive creative experience,” says Nelson,
who began plying the medium before studying at Chicago. “You draw
using knives and gouges; you sculpt using knives and chisels; you paint
using brayers and brushes; and lastly, you print using the most basic
tools—the pressure of your hands and the absorbency of the paper.”
