Editioning @creeksidestudioatx has begun with Tina Weitz and Master Printer, Tracy Mayrello, creating a varied edition of the Chine collé photogravure “Sacred Hoh”. We are excited to have the first variation on display during Austin Studio Tour 2021.
Through this image and the vibrance, the artist relates the experience of standing in the arms of this sacred place, Hoh Forest. There was such quiet. Peace. Moss and growth thicker than any continent she had ever experienced. Majestic ancients, giant trees which filter the light, offer every shade of green ever imaginable. The green glowed as if God had an emerald lens filter in front of the sun. One feels the clean air.
The trails are natural routes from the elk that are part of this eco system. There are halls of moss, and you begin to believe in fairies.
This protected area, once reverent for the quiet, is now being invaded by noise. Not only from the record number of people visiting parks, but the noise pollution that lurks from above. The colorful imagery Weitz offers also vibrates, as if from the aether… or sonic waves.

Creekside is offering a pre-publication sale price of $500.00 for the first 4 prints sold. The pricing on the edition thereafter will be $600.00. Pre-publication pricing supports the artist by funding project costs during editioning.
