Carving the Floors
Prints from a project called Carving the Floors are currently on view at SPACE Gallery in Portland, Maine:
The Old Brunswick High School (in use from 1937-1995), in Brunswick, Maine, will be demolished in May of 2009. In advance of its demolition, Advanced Printmaking students from Bowdoin College, together with Anna Helper and Andrea Sulzer, carved two classroom floors in the high school as gigantic woodcuts. Each floor was printed by hand in sections and then drymounted together to create the final 20×30 foot images.
More documentation at the SPACE538 blog and Anna Hepler’s website.

P.S. If I had to go to high school in a room that color, I may have flunked out.
