Final Prints - As You Like It

This is the furthest thing away from what I'm used to doing, but I feel that it's one of my most successful prints, as I just tried to throw myself into it rather than overthinking, over-measuring and worrying about the miniscule details of the composition like I've been getting trapped doing for the last few weeks (months? how long has it been, the days are a blur of Shakespeare and sandwiches for energy).
I let idea rule the piece here, I wanted to communicate the freedom in nature that is an overarching theme in As You Like It, whilst hinting at Shakespeare's suggestion in the play that ultimate freedom is often just a baffling prison. I thought the visuals of an opening in a twisted network of trees would convey that duality of containment and freedom. I wasn't sure about using the text at first, but seeing it printed I think it works to break up the concentration of the dense black right in the centre of the composition. I'm trying to do new things with my work in terms of concept and physical composition, and this design and my Macbeth design were definitely the furthest things from what I would've assumed I would be printing now if I'd been asked this time last year. I want to understand more strongly how to utilise shape and scale in future work to make more abstract images that allow for a more direct focus on the idea behind the image.
