'Carving Out Time' is a monumental print series by LaToya M. Hobbs (b. 1983), a painter and printmaker based in Baltimore. This publication presents the series in full, with commen tary on both Hobbs's practice and broader themes pertinent to her work and to the field of contemporary printmaking. Unfolding over five scenes, Hobbs's towering woodcuts depict a day in her life with her husband and their two children. Hobbs extends the intimacy of her private life, centring the negotiations she brokers daily to balance her responsibilities as a wife, mother, educator, and artist - a contemplation of nuanced concepts of time and labour that is at once deeply personal and universal.
