OTSOG Larger than Life ; Crack Willow

Larger than Life - Crack Willow (Salix fragilis) , 2024
Wax treated Watercolour and ink on ACP, Solid Wood Frame
12x16

The bark of the crack willow, Salix fragilis, appears comically oversized.  The deep, widely spaced crevices within the bark surface create a perfect environment for shade and humidity loving mosses and bryophytes to flourish.

Framed in commercially sourced Salix spp. (likely Salix fragilis) wood.
