This print is part of a pair, printed on the same size paper with the same colours. The other print depicts a pile of cones. I was interested in the shapes, shadows, and textures created by the pile of cones and the pile of logs. I was also interested in their thematic contrast, representing the birth and death of a forest: here are the trees before and after they are trees.
