BANFF CENTRE HAS MY HEART

For well over 300 years this Fir Tree grew in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. This tree grew at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and had the fortune of being at the creative campus and adored as a healthy old growth behemoth, as well as the misfortune of needing to be cut down do minimize human error. 

Each original hand rubbed print is 1 of only 20 made. They are made by thoughtfully and gently placing acid free Japanese Kozo paper onto this spectacular tree slice that was coated in archival quality ink. I then slowly and methodically used my hands to rub the top of the stump to expose the relief of the tree rings and character hidden within. 

Each of these 20 prints are unique as handmade art should be. They are all titles, signed and numbered. There might be slight variations but that is what makes them so special. 

The mountains I live in and the forests that surround them are the reason I create my art. I want to honor and showcase how simple and naturally beautiful the world can be.

All prints are 56" x 29.5" ( 4.5 feet x 2 feet 4 inches) and are placed inside a sturdy cardboard tube to ensure it stays safe and crisp in transit. 

Please note magnetic hanger is not included in this purchase.
