With ordinary woodcuts, you print the separate layers of color from different blocks. In the exquisite, intricate landscapes by Sieman Dijkstra and Gordon Mortensen (both solo artists), they employ the reduction woodcut method. This means one block and much whittling, as the surface is carved a little deeper for each successive layer of color. And when you’re done, you can’t make any more prints; the block is finished. In some of his prints, California-based Mortensen can make 60 (!) separate reductions, creating an almost photographic level of detail and color separation—yet all created by hand. Dijkstra, a younger Dutch artist, documents the changing seasons and low, European light of his homeland. Both their work is marvelously tactile and textured. And the forest scenes remind you from whence they came. BRIAN MILLER
