About this work

Peter Ford made this print in 1996 using a technique called blind-embossing. No ink was used—just wet paper pulp pressed into tree stumps. The dried casts show the wood’s rings, cuts, and grain like a fossil made of paper. The work ties paper and wood together in a series called Evidence. Ford recycled paper into pulp, turned it into sheets, then shaped them with the stumps. Look up Ford, Peter next.
