Wood Relief Prints
These tree prints pay tribute to the library of information each tree holds. The Dendrochronology not only tells us the age of the tree but the passage of time each tree has lived. A tree grows one ring annually. These rings show a story of drought, fire, disease, insect plagues, wildlife and excessive rain. Long after these trees have fallen they continue to change shape. Swelling, splitting and contracting with the exposure to rain and sun. We source these cross sections from fallen trees in the Adelaide Hills. Besides the environmental story each tree has a human story to tell. A marriage held under the shade of a once magnificent gum. The inspiration of the charcoal drawing of a cedar tree by Hans Heysen. A tree planted for a loved one passed too soon. Each section is then planed, sanded and charred to reveal the depth of the rings. This process that can take days to complete. Ink is then applied to the surface and the canvas to the ink, careful rubbing completes the process. Only 10 prints from each tree are made and every print will be unique.
