Description
Dense clusters of pine needles fill the composition edge to edge, radiating outward in starburst-like sprays of fine, scratchy lines. The image is rendered entirely in black and white, with deep black masses of foliage set against small, irregular patches of bare white ground showing through the gaps. No sky, horizon, or figures are visible—only the tightly packed needle clusters at close range, in a dense, textured, almost claustrophobic mass. Drypoint on copper plate; Pine 11, by Manami Ito.
