Wood Block Print by Michael Miller: "Wave Maze", Framed

A wave with no way out. The title calls it a maze, and fairly.

Wave Maze is a framed wood block print by Michael Miller, made around 1976 on Arches paper, signed and numbered 1/25. In a woodblock, the artist cuts away whatever will stay white, and what remains takes the ink, so every line here is a decision made with a blade. Black arcs and white slashes tangle across the sheet in every direction, thinning to fine rays at the edges. Margins of cream paper carry the pencil notations. A glossy black frame holds it all. It is 37 inches wide and 31.5 high.

Getting lost has seldom been so orderly.
