Image: I received a shipment of boxwood from the Barenmall
in Japan. I guess I was supposed to cut it in the traditional rectangular shapes
of engraving blocks, but instead I fell in love with the irregular natural shapes
of the cross section of the tree. I started thinking about the life of the tree
and how I wish I could "read" the life of this one in the beautiful delicate
rings. A series was born.
