Most of his work is for sale or up for auction. It made it difficult to find information of this print. I eventually came across it on a book cover, but that didn't tell me anything about the print. So the size and name are unknown, and his other works similar to this were all wood blocks.
This print, I thought represent balance (asymmetrically) because of the tree. With out it, the print would be a very boring, symmetrical piece. With the tree, the print become more interesting to look at and intricate. It give the print depth and reason for being. I like it because of that.
