About
Heartwood captures the essence of the Sycamore Gap tree and the impression it left on those who connected with it. Individually themed, named and coloured, the giant tree prints, created by printmaker Shona Branigan, show every tree ring groove and detail from the cross-section of the almost heart shaped trunk of the 200-year-old tree.
