This is another interesting lettering design by Scott Kim, who was called the "Escher of the Alphabet" by Isaac Asimov. The entire alphabet, in order, is shown in mirror symmetry. That is, if you draw a vertical line down the center of this design, the left half is the mirror image of the right half.
In this relief carving, the letters were incised into the basswood, then the area around the letters was carved away, leaving a frame of the same wood. The wood was sealed and gel stain wiped into the incised letters. Basswood, 6" x 13"
