About the Artist: Publishing the Stories of the Forest
As an artist, my mission is Ostranenie: presenting common things in an unfamiliar way to enhance our perception of the familiar. Trees are nature’s historians, recording everything from the activity of a wood ant to shifts in the global climate. I see myself as a publisher of stories written in wood. My process is rooted in a deep respect for the environment:
Ethically Sourced: I never cut down trees. I gather wood only from previously fallen trees in significant locations, such as National Parks, forests, or historical sites.
Hand-Pressed: Inspired by the work of Bryan Nash Gill, I hand-pull every print. These are authentic woodcuts, not machine-made reproductions.
Truly Unique: Every print is a one-of-a-kind work of art, capturing the unique history and "soul" of the specific tree it was crafted from.
