Bloodroot, Sanguinaria Canadensis, is a native spring ephemeral; the flowers are encased in a multi-lobed leaf as they emerge, the flower blooms before the leaf unfurls The seeds are spread by ants, who eat the fleshy coating before depositing the seeds in the nutrient-rich debris from their nest to germinate.

The flora & fauna series features the multitude of beings that call the Midwest their home. Each print features one hand-carved block and two layers of abstract color fields created using type-high wood blocks. All three layers are letterpress printed.

Available framed or unframed - frames are solid wood and made in the USA.
