Dendrochronology: Requiem for Trees

Darren Fan


Printmaking

Exploring dendrochronology (the life cycle of trees) and the impact of deforestation on Australian trees, my Body of Work utilises the mediums of printmaking, photography, and assemblage. Intending to capture the aging process I created tree ring paper prints from site-specific tree stumps in my area bringing to light the destruction as well as the beauty of the trees around us.
