A suggested arrangement of black and white relief prints of a retro microphone, a black semi-acoustic guitar, a keyboard, a bass guitar, and a snare drum with brushes. Each print is A5 in size and has a narrow black border. They are in slightly wider black “frames” the size of the paper (A4). They are arranged in the same manner as the five dots on a dice; two at the top (mic, portrait; keys, landscape), one in the middle (guitar, portrait), and two at the bottom (drum, landscape; bass headstock, portrait).

Instruments of Hope Set of All Five Prints

A black and white relief print of a wooden bass guitar. The view is of the top of the fretboard in a dark wood, the headstock in a lighter wood whose grain is clearly picked out in the cutting. The four different strings run from the bottom of the frame to their respective tuning keys, and the frayed silk binding the metal strings are visible. This close up view is of the headstock’s wood grain and the tuning keys.

Instruments of Hope 5

A black and white relief print of the texture on the skin of a very used and loved snare drum. On the skin sit two brushes, although that texture must have been made by some serious drumming with drumsticks! At the bottom left of the image a small sliver of a cymbal is visible.

Instruments of Hope 4

A linocut relief print of a keyboard. It could be a traditional piano or an electric keyboard. This close up view is of three black keys with the top end of the white keys showing between them.
