Sitka in the Tree (BW2)
Sitka in the Tree (BW2)
You CAN see the forest for the trees, or in the tree in this case. In fact, this lone Sitka Spruce already existed in the growth rings of the Oregon Coast tree that this print was pulled from. Before the tree was carved, a print was made from just the prepared cross cut ‘stump’ and a ghost like image of that tree was already there. With the aid of fine tools, the Sitka was realized by hand for this enchanting wood-cut print.
Sitka in the Tree is printed on 100% Cotton Rag paper; graphic measuring 5.5” x 6.25”, paper measuring 6.75”x 8.5”, using Daniel Smith relief inks. The printing block was prepared and cut by Karen Britt from Oregon Coast wood. This print is hand inked and printed by hand pressing (without the aid of a printing press), making every one different and you get the very one shown. The edition of this print is unnumbered, but due to the nature of the wood and printing process, there is a finite number of prints that may be pulled from this block before the fidelity is such that the edition must be closed. The maximum number for this to take place is well under 100 prints. Your print arrives unframed and ready for you to personalize with your own mounting, matting, or framing vision. Traditional framing techniques always look great! If you wish to purchase a mounted print, check the inventory or Contact Us for pricing on having this very print mounted in a cross cut style on wooden panel.
