This piece was made after a residency in the foothills of Appalachia, where wild medicinal herbs are native and biodiversity is high. Several decades ago, this land was strip mined. But thanks to a long-term land conservation project called United Plant Savers that conserved 400 acres of the land 50 years ago, it has come back to life. Now species like slippery elm, sassafras, black cohosh, American ginseng, and goldenseal (highly sought-after native medicinal herbs) are able to flourish, supporting a diverse ecosystem of other native plants, animals, and fungi.
This woodcut was printed with nontoxic vegetable oil-based inks from two blocks, each with a reduction technique. Printed on mulberry paper. Block measures 12×16." Limited run of 26.
Due to the nature of the block printing process, colors and printing will vary slightly in each print.
