So imagine my surprise when I got home and realized that the signatures on the two pieces were the same! She was the artist of "Rey Armadillo", and also this incredible piece, "Manos Mágica" (Magic Hands):

#linocut #printmaking

A black and white linocut print. Two stylized hands occupy the entire frame of the print. They are covered with lines and swirls in a very abstract way, but one that conveys a sense of age, scars, wrinkles, and knots. The fingers are crooked and the fingernails are long. The overall impression is of a pair of hard-worn hands, likely of an older woman given that the title of the piece is likely meant to bring a bruja to mind.
