About the Work

Description & Technique

Harvest — Anna Karenina
Studio Release

Composed from four pages of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, Harvest reflects Levin’s return to the land — where labour becomes rhythm, and rhythm becomes clarity.

In the novel, the harvest offers Levin a reprieve from abstraction and social performance. Working alongside the peasants, he experiences a physical and spiritual grounding that reconnects him to something older and more elemental than debate or doctrine.

Letters cut from the page form a line I return to often as an artist:

“If you look for perfection you'll never be content.”

The work is hand-finished and stitched to black acid-free art paper, allowing sections of the composition to lift subtly from the surface.

Signed and editioned.
Limited studio edition of 20.

Dimensions

The artwork is A3 in size (297mm x 420mm)

Limited Studio Release — edition of 5.

Each studio edition is derived from an original hand-cut work.While the composition remains the same, each piece is cut from a different page of the text, with slight variations in the underlying paper.

Presentation

Unframed works are supplied in a simple acrylic presentation frame for protection and display; this is not the professional framing option. The edition is limited to five works in total across both presentation options.

Cut, finished and framed in my studio.

Each piece is unique — text and cut will vary slightly.
