Time Rings is a contemporary studio print that takes the cross-section of a tree as its whole subject. Concentric growth rings circle outward from a dark central knot, each band recording a season of slow growth. The design invents no artist and no date; it draws on the long human habit of reading time in wood — the same rings that dendrochronology uses to date timber.
The image keeps the honest colours of cut wood: amber, russet and warm brown, with fine dark lines tracing every ring. Where the grain meets the knot it bends and tightens, giving the centre a quiet pull that holds the eye. The effect is graphic yet entirely natural.
On a wall the print brings the warmth of timber without a single straight edge. It works in a study, a living room or an entryway, and sits well with oak furniture, woven textiles and earthenware. Its circular motion balances rooms built mostly from rectangles.

Frequently asked questions
What does Time Rings show?
The cross-section of a tree trunk, with concentric growth rings circling outward from a dark central knot in amber and warm brown.
Is it based on a historical print?
No. It is an original contemporary design inspired by natural wood grain and the reading of growth rings, not a reproduction of an older artwork.
What is the meaning of the rings?
Each ring marks a year of growth; together they evoke the passage of time, which gives the print its name.
Which rooms suit it?
Studies, living rooms and entryways, alongside oak furniture, woven textiles and earthenware; its circular motion softens rectangular spaces.
