Willows are known for being able to keep their feet wet, aka they can thrive in wet soils and wetlands. Their root systems are excellent at filtering water, stabilizing soil, and — most exciting — being able to take up and degrade toxic substances from the soil, as well as agricultural/municipal organic waste. Studies are being conducted all over the world to determine how best to use willows as a safe and effective bioremediation tool.
This woodcut was printed with nontoxic vegetable oil-based inks in a reduction technique for my 2026 calendar. Printed on Rives BFK. Block measures 7 × 10”. Limited, varied edition run of 6.
Due to the nature of the block printing process, colors and printing will vary slightly in each print.
