Fudge often uses digital technology to create abstract, geometric compositions such as this laser-etched woodcut. The dizzying patterns in the print make spatial relationships unclear and leave the viewer unsure of exactly what they are seeing. Similarly disorienting is the 1918 woodcut print by the British artist Edward Wadsworth upon which Fudge based this work that depicts a ship painted in dazzle camouflage. Developed during World War I, this camouflage made it difficult for enemies to perceive the speed or heading of a ship. Fudge studied at Kansas City Art Institute in 1987 and returned as a KU visiting artist in 2008.
