Twelve works, three series
Prints
Every work is printed in three sizes, A4, A3 and 50 × 70 cm, in a numbered edition of 30 per size, with pigment inks on cotton paper. All of them are composed at a ratio of 1 : 1.4, so each size is the same drawing, generated again at that size, with a white border around it.
To ask about a particular print, write to hello@lindenframe.org with its title and the size you have in mind.
Ridgelines
Ridgelines began with a question about haze: how far back can a mountain go before it stops being a mountain and becomes part of the sky? Each image is six to eight ridges, drawn from the back forward. The nearest are dark and sharp. Every layer behind is mixed a little further toward the colour of the sky at the horizon, and its lower edge fades into a thin band of valley mist.

River Light
For River Light the program places an imaginary eye a little above the water and draws the river in true perspective: a winding centre line, a constant width, and everything divided by distance. Close to the viewer the bends are wide and lazy; near the horizon they fold into a thread. The surface is made of short horizontal strokes, dark ones for ripples, pale ones for reflected sky, and a few bright ones where the sun lands.

Winter Fields
Winter Fields is the quietest of the three series and the hardest to print. Fields are bands that widen toward the viewer. Furrows are narrow wedges converging on a point on the horizon, and each field gets its own point, so the ploughing runs in different directions. Hedgerows are dashed lines whose rhythm is random, which is what makes them look grown rather than drawn.

About the editions
Each work is made in an edition of 30 in each size, so no more than 90 prints of any image will ever exist. Every print is signed and numbered in pencil on the back, next to the seed it was generated from. When an edition is complete, that size is not printed again.
Prints come framed in linden made in our workshop, or unframed if you would rather frame them yourself. The process page explains the paper, the inks and the frames in detail, and the questions page covers sizes and care.
