About the artwork

Changing the Proportions is a woodcut by Barbara Kuebel. Two nude bodies interlock like a knot being tied and untied, creating a compact and dense mass. Printed in black on a large scale, the work conveys the sense of a single continuous form. The artist explains:

“The idea behind this work is similar to constructing a knot with two ropes. There are many ways to tie it, but the overall volume stays roughly the same. These figures exchange body parts like the ends of a knot being constructed and deconstructed. I wish the viewer feels that density before the shapes shift into another position. I use woodcut to bring a sense of monumentality, and black to keep the focus on the idea of one form rather than the study of the figures.”
