Print Project Beginning Stages

My inspiration for the print project was a book I read in English class called A Fine Balance.  A Fine Balance is set in India, and is about the interactions and lives of many characters.  Each character has his or her own life philosophy.  Some were negative, and some positive.  One major theme was the train system in India, so I will use train tracks as a background for my print.  In addition, the game of chess is used as a metaphor for the positive and negative events in life.  Life is about having a balance of good and bad, so I am planning to print many pawns one on top of the other to demonstrate the theme of balance.  I will use linoleum as the material, and chip away at the negative space.
