The Tree of Life

Woodcut, ink on paper, 8" x 10"

This series of 26 was carved into an 8" x 10" piece of Shino plywood and hand printed in the traditional Japanese way on thin watercolor paper. The design is inspired by a fusion of cultures, using shapes from northwest coast form-line design on the traditionally Mexican concept of the Tree of Life. I designed and carved this block during the last few weeks of my 6-year college career to give thanks to the people who'd been the greatest support during my journey thus far, printing 26 for each year of my life. I didn't give them all away and have a few quality prints left for sale. Each print is a unique expression of the printing process, and thus all prints are a one-of-a-kind piece of art. If you are interesting in obtaining one but can't pick it out in person, please contact me and I'll be happy to send you photos of the remaining prints.
