106 — Black Sea Forest · Hand Pressed Print

Edition of 20 · No. [X]/20 · Hand Signed

THE PRINT

One hundred and six years, pressed onto paper. This is the largest format in the current collection — a wide, commanding print made from a tree felled in the Black Sea forests of northern Turkey. At 27 × 39 inches, the rings spread across the page with the kind of presence that only scale can give: you can see the years, count them, trace the variations in growth from season to season.

What you see on the paper is not a photograph or a scan. It is a direct impression of the wood itself — the rings, the grain, the compression and expansion of each growing season pressed into the surface of the page.

THE PROCESS

The cross-section of the tree is prepared as a printing block, inked with letterpress ink, and pressed by hand onto high-quality white paper. No digital reproduction. No machine printing. Each print in the edition is pulled individually, and minor variations between prints are a natural result of the hand process.

EDITION & AUTHENTICITY

This print is issued in a limited edition of 20. Each print is numbered by hand (No. X/20) and signed by the artist. Once the edition is sold out, no further prints will be made from this block.
