"This is a series of eleven woodcuts we got from a friend, Beth Cullum. Saskia, my wife, used to work together with Beth at a Japanese print gallery in Seattle, Washington named Carolyn Staley Prints. And we know of Greg Kucera and a few other galleries where we lived for a few years. It's a gallery Bardia and Melissa Behravesh had mentioned earlier. This is a set of prints we got from Beth Cullum that she may have found at a gallery auction in Chicago, I believe. I think the series is entitled "An Essay From Walden by Henry David Thoreau," and it is inspired by Walden pond." Eric Lehnert

"And so, a lot of times when I write the people at the bookstores that we buy things from, I kind of write them a poem and I send pictures just out of our own windows. And I say, this is life in America in Kansas. How is it in Tokyo? And they write back, we translated it through Google, and you have poetic writing in your nature. " Eric Lehnert
