SOMOS, 4/2009
1/3, woodcut print on muslin, 4′x8′

Made By: Abosede George, Lucia Leandro Gimeno, Sonia Ko, Padmini Narumanchi, Laimah Osman, Leah Sapin

Designed this image with five friends.  We sat together and brainstormed ideas that we wanted to express.  Interestingly, we all felt strongly about the mirroring of us (human beings) to nature.  And came up with this Tree/Trachea image, visually simmilar looking organisms with simmilar functions.  We added the word OMO to it, a palindrome that means child in the Yoruban culture, which later turned to SOMOS.  This BIG print can be hung upside down or downside up.

We printed this BIG woodcut at Pratt’s BIG DAMN PRINT event in April, 2009.  View pix from last year’s Big Damn Prints event here.
