Join us for an artist talk with Stephen King, the creative mind behind Against the Grain: Fingerprints from the Forest, an exhibition capturing the life and essence of trees. Stephen’s unique relief printmaking process breathes new life into fallen trees, preserving their intricate patterns and history on paper. Each piece reflects his deep respect for trees as ancient giants—essential, silent protectors of our ecosystem.
Through his art, Stephen invites us to recognize trees not only as a renewable resource but as “old souls” and “unsung heroes” that sustain life around us. In this talk, Stephen will discuss his process, inspiration, and the significance of trees as the true giants among us. Don’t miss this chance to experience nature’s story told through the beautiful details of tree rings and relief.
