Ink Knife Tree 1987
We were looking for a unique way to say Merry Christmas from a printer. After a visit to the facility, we found the answer hanging on the wall in the form of ink knives with a little ink still on them. This image was created by pouring printing ink directly on the ink knife and then quickly shooting it - this was before the days of Photoshop. No retouching or photo manipulation was done to this image.
