Footnote
Note: This piece is from the Timberaine series that consist of 10 different woodcuts. The idea behind this series came from one of Frost's large stripe paintings, and was inspired by tree trunks in a forest. Working in woodcut allowed Frost to accomplish the quality and clarity of design he envisioned, in contrast to his painting, where the edges of the stripes were inevitably softer. In this technique Frost used three separate woodcuts to make up the pieces.
