JS-2022-576 Hands and dense crosshatched markA tree reduced to gesture branching form with negative space carrying as much weight as line. Drawn on a recycled cardboard album sleeve, the substrate's edges and surface texture left visible as part of the work. The tree was one of Sarkin's most persistent motifs, returned to across decades of drawing. Signed. Authenticated by The Jon Sarkin Estate. Ships from Gloucester, MA.
