7 months of carving coming to an end, I lost some details and added some. I love and need to see the prints, but honestly, the block is the final art piece for me. It’s what I spend all my time with and each one has a segment of my life attached with it.

Tripitaka Koreana, Korea,
Carved on 81258 woodblocks in the 13th century - is the most successful large data transfer over time yet achieved by humankind. 52 million characters of information, transmitted over nearly 8 centuries with zero data loss - an unequalled achievement.
The Tripitaka Koreana, stored in Haeinsa, a Buddhist temple in Gayasan National Park, South Korea, is the most comprehensive and oldest version of the Buddhist canon, with no known errors in its 52 330 152 characters which are organized in over 1496 titles and 6568 volumes.
