It is always an honor to have a wood engraving selected for the Society of Wood Engravers (SWE) Annual Exhibit. This year my wood engraving “Age” was selected for inclusion in the traveling exhibit.
“Age” on display at the Bankside Gallery in London in February.
I engraved “Age” to be used on a Wood Engravers’ Network (WEN) Calendar project.
The inspiration was a large aging section of a tree that was made into a chair, it was at the end of a friend’s pier on a lake in northern Wisconsin.
End-grain decay drawn on an end-grain boxwood round, my following the annual rings of the block closely when inking the lines on the toned block.
A Chris Daunt made boxwood round. A joy to engrave.
