The images for this company come from making a relief print of objects found in Nature; fish, shells, plants, feathers, etc. Gyotaku is the Japanese name for "fish rubbing", an honored art form over 150 years old.  As to other styles of nature printing, there are as many forms as there are practitioners. Prints can even be made from flowers, bark, rocks and cobwebs.   In fact, leaf prints have been found dating back to the 1300's. Benjamin Franklin even used the plaster cast of a leaf when printing currency for the new Colonies.  Imagine all the possibilities -- the endless shapes, textures, and even the forces of Nature. I sometimes have trouble imagining it all!

And the memory of which is strong
And difficult to erase."
