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

Hanna Sass processes the printing blocks roughly with angle grinders, knives, and wood chisels. This 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-block technique. It is called "lost" because the individual intermediate stages are lost, and the process, contrary to the traditional intention of reproduction, cannot be repeated.
