Original artwork description:

Pen and ink rendering of lichen-covered stones from my 2018 field excursion into the Arctic north. Lichens are so fascinating. So timeless - it's estimated that some specimens in the Arctic could be something 8000 years old - slowly and steadily growing, bringing their own amazing landscape with them - small ecosystems harmoniously integrated into the vast one. And so interesting how the super faithful photorealistic rendering here looks at once like a organic abstract work or something straight from outer space. The marvel and infinite richness of nature!
The work is in indian ink - painstakingly rendered with a thin metal nib - letting the natural vibration take over and speak its language.
300g/sm thick acid-free paper, I will have it framed upon your purchase and send it ready to hang.

Materials used:

indian ink on thick acid-free paper, framaed in wood behind glass.
