January's chill brings wood-cutters to the landscape, their labors captured in chalk, pen & ink, and oil on paper. From Avon Gorge to the northeast coast of Brazil, their determination against the elements is a timeless tale. Their passports bear the stamps of countless journeys, their tools the marks of countless trees. The pit sawyers and wood splitters, Negro woodcutters and Aragonese, all share the same rhythm of the forest. In the face of nature's floods and storms, they build, they create, they survive. A father and daughter on the frontier, a simple lunch shared amidst the trees, the cycle continues.
