fun fact: 


digital description: 


wall description: 
Although Hewit employed a V-shaped gouge, she mostly cut her blocks using a straight-blade knife with a tapered point. To create curved lines, she stitched together many short knife-cut lines, especially visible in the archway in <em>Homeward Bound</em>.
