Ojai #15, Monoprint, 30cm x 35cm

One-off monoprint — only one available

Ojai #15 is part of another element of my current Tree Portraits series which were created for a USA Commission, where I documented the arid region of Ojai in California. While many native species are hardy & naturally resilient, the current extremes of Climate experienced in the region are enabling several accidentally introduced diseases to take advantage of them, including the Sudden Oak Death.

The majority of Prints in this series record a number of Live Canyon Oaks, some of which have been affected by the water mould pathogen (Phytophthora Ramorum) which leads to this dieback.
