Artwork description:

In the agrarian traditions of Old Europe, as well as the early farming settlements in America, each full moon had a name. The name was based on the cycles and activities of the natural world, both plant and animal. I used Basswood for the woodblock for its fine grain. The print is unique, printed only once on composition gold leaf. The print is signed and titled on the front.

Materials used:

black ink on 100% rag paper, composition gold leaf
