Revving Up for STEAMROLLER TESSELLATION Printing

We are preparing to make a BIG STEAMROLLER print at the Southwest Print Fiesta 2025 of large EXQUISISTE TESSELLATION Linocuts -- on Sunday, October 12, 2025, in Silver City, New Mexico:

The LIGHTBURN file for laser cutting four big "hat" linocuts,

from a linoleum 36x 36 inches square--

We plan to piece together four large "hat" linocuts to make a larger print on 40 x 40 inch paper. We might also carve the 6 drops, and piece them together to make full square steamroller print. These puzzle pieces can be put together to print several variations.

This mural is based on a print that Yorch had made previously about the bridge (see below). Note the female factory worker on the right -- Yorch says that most of the workers in the maquiladoras are women:
