What is a Wayside Shrine? Wayside shrines are often found in Europe, like this one in Germany. • A wayside shrine, is often a religious item, usually in some sort of small shelter, placed by a road or pathway. • They often commemorate a specific incident near the place (either a death in an accident or an escape from harm) – but others mark an important object along the road or pathway.

The History of Rubbing Click Here To view more of this artist’s work • Rubbing is one of the oldest forms of printmaking. • Before the camera was invented, Japanese fishermen would make rubbings of the fish they caught in order to record they type and size of the fish. • Today fishermen continue the centuries-old practice of using rubbings, but now it has evolved into an art form. • This type of rubbing is called Gyotaku. Gyotaku combines two Japanese words, "gyo," meaning fish, and "taku," meaning rubbing. (2011). In Encyclopædia Britannica.

How Artists Use Rubbings • To help his flow of imagery from his unconscious mind, Ernst used frottage (the French word for rubbings). • He said he was inspired by grain in planks of wooden flooring; the patterns in the grain suggested strange images to him. • He captured these by laying sheets of paper on the floor and then rubbing over them with a soft pencil.

How to Make a Wayside Shrine Rubbing • Rubbings are made by: • carefully pressing paper onto the textured surface • Rubbing a medium (like a crayon or charcoal stick) over the paper • A carefully made rubbing provides an accurate, full-scale facsimile of the surface reproduced. • The textured surface of the shrine boxes are woodcuts made by artist and MOFAC Curator, Mollie Doctrow. • The end product, therefore, cannot be considered an original print but rather an accurate record Doctrow’s woodcut.
