In printing, colors were applied to moistened paper so that they mixed to produce additional colors. Sophisticated repetition and color effects characterize each print. Ayomi also produced prints with other forms and themes.
The repetitive use of hand-carved ovals was a basic idiom in Ayomi's earliest woodblock prints. To produce these prints, Ayomi used a scooped chisel to hand-carve identically-sized ovals into the surface of the plywood. Her final products contained hundreds of ovals organized into straight lines, which covered the entire print area.
