A Comfortable Tautology

Paper Dimension: 7.5x10
Image Dimension: 6x9
Block: lino
Ink: Graphic Chemical oil-based black
Paper: Reeves BFK, bright white, 250 gsm
Edition: 50
My tribute to Ikea’s once-upon-a-time font, futura -- based on a catalogue page -- is also a play on words: Ikea means home in Swedish; oikos means home in Greek. So, if you translate the title (or swap the different “home” words), you  produce what  may be a “comfortable” tautology. (Or the tautology of comfort).
