100 Acts of Kindness Maria Arango Diener

100 Acts of Kindness is the record of making a collaboration woodcut print among 100 artists from all over the world. Content includes an explanation of the project, pictures of each panel, each artist contribution and their comments, history of previous projects, how to make a puzzle print and more. A Puzzle Print is a large design composed of "puzzle pieces", each of which is designed and carved by a unique artist under a common theme, in this case Kindness. The project director designs and cuts the wood block into puzzle-like pieces, then sends the pieces to participant artists; they carve their own small design and send the tiny piece back. Then the director assembles the carved pieces. The entire design is printed as a woodcut print and each artist receives a large print with all the contributions.
