The original woodcut from the series .../2/17 by Hanna Sass dates from 2017, as the title of the work already mentions. The artist Hanna Sass uses the traditional method of multi-colored woodcut, thus creating a unique connection between a gestural and expressive way of working and the traditional woodcut technique, originally intended for reproduction.

Hanna Sass processes the printing blocks in a brutal manner with angle grinders, knives, and wood chisels. The emphatically physical work stands in a tense contrast to the careful printing process, in which several plates are usually printed one after another.

After each printing process, the artist continues to work on the printing blocks, thus utilizing a sub-form of woodcut, namely the so-called lost-form technique. It is called "lost" because the individual intermediate stages are lost, and the process, quite contrary to the traditional intention of reproduction, cannot be repeated.
