This looks like a blurry, gray photo of a tree branch with rough, textured bark. The bark is the only clear part—it’s grainy and uneven, almost like a close-up. The rest fades into a soft, indistinct background. The title is just "bark," and it’s printed on a small offset card. The artist made it simple and focused, almost like a puzzle piece. Check out Ian Hamilton Finlay to see how he turned everyday objects into art.
