The woodcut prints of Tom Killion speak of a deep love for the landscape, a passion for the poetics of space. In particular California’s northern wild edge inspired him from an early age. Spending countless hours carving into wood the sketches he brought back from his trips into the great outdoors. The technique applied is almost identical to the traditional Japanese woodblock printing used by Hokusai two hundred years ago. A multi-color print can take several months to complete but the result is one of a kind.
