Tree Bark

Tree Bark
Linoleum Block Print
Limited Variable Edition of 26
Paper Size 12"x16"

Inspired by the texture of tree bark and the repeating patterns I felt compelled to create this new design. If you look up close to tree bark there is a whole other world within it, mostly little insects and bugs living unnoticed underneath the bark. This led my imagination to think about imposing another world onto the bark, and that's where the pnw inspired mountain peak and colorful sunset came into the picture. Taking up the place where a knot in a tree would be is this little peephole of another world.

I made Tree Bark by hand-carving each detail into a single linoleum block. I then rolled oil-based ink onto the lino block by hand and used a manual etching press to transfer the ink off the block onto fine art recycled paper.

Hand inking and blended roll techniques create unique prints, each one an original. Photos are representative of the print you will receive.
