Detailed Description
In Xylography, the convergence of time and patience is tangible. Artists breathe life into rigid textures, revealing narratives etched with whispered secrets of nature. This art embraces imperfection as its muse, fostering a dialogue between material and maker. Limitations are not bounds but creative opportunities, where every slice unravels eternal stories in monochrome threads.
