Our printmaker/photographer Tina Weitz most recent photogravure “Strolling Umbria” is now available!
The image of a quiet afternoon stroll in Umbria is the latest Chine collé photogravure featured in Weitz series “Telescoping Landscapes”. The image is 4”w x 5”h printed on 9” x 12” paper edition of 40.
Editioning @creeksidestudioatx has begun with Tina Weitz and Master Printer, Tracy Mayrello, creating a varied edition of the Chine collé photogravure “Sacred Hoh”. We are excited to have the first variation on display during Austin Studio Tour 2021.
Through this image and the vibrance, the artist relates the experience of standing in the arms of this sacred place, Hoh Forest. There was such quiet. Peace. Moss and growth thicker than any continent she had ever experienced. Majestic ancients, giant trees which filter the light, offer every shade of green ever imaginable. The green glowed as if God had an emerald lens filter in front of the sun. One feels the clean air.
The trails are natural routes from the elk that are part of this eco system. There are halls of moss, and you begin to believe in fairies.
This protected area, once reverent for the quiet, is now being invaded by noise. Not only from the record number of people visiting parks, but the noise pollution that lurks from above. The colorful imagery Weitz offers also vibrates, as if from the aether… or sonic waves.
Read more in this article regarding jet noise pollution from the National Parks Conservation Association.
Creekside is offering a pre-publication sale price of $500.00 for the first 4 prints sold. The pricing on the edition thereafter will be $600.00. Pre-publication pricing supports the artist by funding project costs during editioning.
We invite you to visit us EAST during Austin Studio Tour. Questions? Email us at hello@creeksidestudioatx.com.

Telescoping Landscapes
what remains
In the Studio @creeksidestudioatx with Tina Weitz
Iao Valley, Maui
Maui’s beautiful rainforest trails and volcanic mountains of Iao Valley offer incredible vistas and scenery. They also hold a sacred spirituality in history and instill a place to respect what remains. What remains are the stories featured in my photogravure series, Telescoping Landscapes, a visual voice of the land.
One of the wettest areas of Maui, Iao Valley offers a rainforest and National Natural Landmark. Lava mountains offer breathtaking waterfalls and lush vegetation. This is the landscape which covers the phallic lava remnant known as Kanaloa, God of the Underworld, the Eye of the Needle.
The Iao land itself holds countless remains and history of an ancient warrior lookout. There are sacred and secret ali’i burial grounds that include Kings. The Iao Needle also holds the past of those who lost their lives in an historical bloody battle. So many fell their bodies blocked the Iao stream of water which ran red. This battle site is called “Kepaniwai”, “the damming of the waters”.
In Weitz’s photogravure “Iao Valley”, the serene example of an early Maui settlement home stands beneath in the Valley. Part of history, and part of the continuing encroachment of the rest of the world to Maui’s shores. The green Kozo chine collé represents the history, mystery and the past of Maui. The brown ink a la poupeé creeps toward the past but is lost in the black and white of today. The plant of the tarot root, significant in Hawaiian culture, watches below.
The next print in this series is from Maui’s Sugar Cane Fields. Watch for our writeup during Austin Studio Tour in the next week. For sales information contact us at hello@creeksidestudioatx.com.
