Editor: This print by Giuseppe Penone shows what looks like a cross-section of a tree trunk. It's quite small and delicate. How do you interpret its quiet intensity? Curator: It feels like a whisper from the earth, doesn't it? Penone often explores the relationship between humans and nature. What if it's not just a cross-section, but a meditation on time, growth, and the interconnectedness of all things? Editor: That's beautiful. So, it's less about documentation and more about feeling? Curator: Precisely! It's a reminder that even in the smallest detail, there's a universe to discover. Editor: I see it now; thanks for sharing your perspective.

This is one of a suite of eleven images and twelve pages of text from the portfolio entitled Footsteps on Mulberry Tree Tops. The portfolio was produced in an edition of twenty-one plus four artist’s proofs. Tate’s copy is the twentieth in the edition, the first half of which was published in book form, the second as loose leaves in a box. The images were printed from plates made in the artist’s studio in San Raffaele, Turin by the publisher Jacob Samuel in Santa Monica, California. They were all made using the chin collé technique and a combination of softground etching, spitbite, hardground etching, whiteground aquatint and drypoint.
