Combining crafting techniques to create an immersive retail space
Carved Collective is based on the idea of Woodcut Graphic novels or the wordless novel. It is an artistic and narrative medium that emerged during the first half of the 20th century. These are created by carving intricate designs into woodblocks and then printing them onto paper or other materials. This craftsmanship involves precision and attention to detail.
Woodcut novels engage the reader’s senses through their visual appeal and readers experience the story visually by observing the details in the illustrations.
