"Eva Pietzcker’s incredible moku hanga woodcut print ‘Mt. Rainier’ beautifully captures the iconic mountain, shrouded in mist and snow. The technical difficulties of moku hanga, a Japanese technique that uses water based pigments, damp paper, and hand pressing with a baren, increase my appreciation for Pietzcker’s ability to reproduce soft textures and dramatic contrast with precision, and consistently across the edition. The artist herself said this print was the most challenging for her to print.  The impressive silhouette of Mt. Rainier rising within the clouds and mist, so skillfully represented, feels distinctly Pacific Northwest, but also transcends any locality to a universal spiritual landscape."
