Back in December I made some woodcuts of the Oak trees in the spinney.
This is a collection of the woodcuts, very simply printed and bound into a wordless book.
Yes, there are mistakes but it is a bit of an advance.
The plates are hand printed, the cover is printed from hand cut type and it’s bound by hand. There are two 6 page sections, 10 images printed on Fabriano 300gsm with red endpapers and it is a satisfying 24cm square.
The biggest book I have attempted so far.
“Oak…Book 1” 24 x 24cms
Oak, spread.
Early proofs.
I am calling it “Book 1” as I am hoping that “Oak ..Book 2” will have some text and be bound a little better!
'Oak' is fascinating; the dizzying, zooming images and the depth of tone make these some of your most beautiful prints to date. D
