tree rubber stamp


tree rubber stamp 2, originally uploaded by aesop.

Working on the ‘various disquisitions’ book with Linda.This rubber stamp has been a process of simplification and one of those times where the medium teaches you a little bit about its own language.

I’d had different plans for this involving trying to do some ring-shading on the bark of the tree but it seems to be best the way it is. I’ve yet to see this print in context in the book, and it remains to be seen whether we’ll use the print or a photo of the block.
