Crane #4 is a more abstract and stylised addition to the series. Rather than using more sketchy techniques, I've redrawn this crane and removed noise to give it a crisper look. The unique shape of this crane still grounds it in the Gdansk shipyards, but the stark contrast to the blank paper gives it a greater sense of abstraction. Arranging the handcut shapes for the load was a challenge and I focused on absolute precision with this print. Lining up these angles after creating them by hand was tricky, but I think rewarding and it furthers my study on block colours and shapes capturing our efforts to order the chaos of urban construction.
