Karman Line XII is a print by Jedd Novatt made in two thousand nineteen. It is made of woodblock monotype on paper. This technique means a unique image is created by carving or working on a flat block of wood, rolling ink onto it, and then pressing it onto paper. The print is about forty-seven and a half inches tall and seventy-one and a half inches wide. It is displayed in landscape orientation, meaning the longest side runs parallel to the ground. The image shows a group of shapes that look like the outlines of cubes, like the edges of a box without any sides. They are made up of straight, thick lines that form sharp corners, like wire frames or the skeletons of boxes. The shapes form the outline of two cubes that appear larger than the edges of the paper, as if they extend beyond the image. The foreground of the print is made of dark grey shapes. Some are a lighter grey, and others are closer to black. The shapes overlap, but they are not see-through. Each one stays solid. The different shades of grey help show where one shape ends and another begins. This layering gives the image a sense of depth. Some shapes feel like they are closer to you, while others seem farther away. Behind all the shapes is a smooth, light-blue background. The blue stays the same across the whole print. It does not have any shift, texture, or pattern. This even color makes the darker grey shapes in front stand out more. It also gives the sense of open space. The shapes seem to float or tilt in space. Some lean sharply to one side. Others look like they are caught in motion, resembling a diagonal stack of cubes that have already started to fall. They appear to be frozen in time, as if they stopped moving mid-fall just before hitting the ground.
