In Thru the Woods (1995), Charles Eckart merges abstraction with the rhythms of nature. Using hardground and softground etching, he builds an intricate lattice of lines that suggest the dense tangle of branches and undergrowth glimpsed while moving through a forest. The work’s energetic mark-making captures both motion and stillness—an interplay between observation and intuition that defines much of Eckart’s mature printmaking.
