Save the Children print + video

Linocut print and stamps on rice paper. All text from Beverly Glen Copeland’s cover of Marvin Gaye’s Save the Children

I carved the main text “Save the Children” on soft linocut, printed on ~20 sheets of rice paper, then glued them together and stamped the other text, which are my original stamps (except for the extra small letters).

There is some text in between with facts about violence and oppression children are currently facing around the world. You can see the photos of those facts below the video
