Crab Plate

A crustacean rests within a shallow bowl, rendered with bold directional lines that emphasise its segmented form and textured shell. The composition employs strong contrasts between the creature and its vessel, whilst the surrounding space recedes into shadow. Boonzaier’s linocut technique creates a dynamic interplay of mark-making, where carved lines structure both anatomical detail and spatial depth. The palette of black and white imparts an immediacy and graphic presence characteristic of the medium.
