Description
This print from is a first state proof from the portfolio Baja California Woodcuts. A book of the same title illustrating this series was published by Plantin Press in L.A. in 1969. "Erosion, Punta Baja" is print number 23 from the series of 50. Taylor commented on this work: "This was a moment in time, on the west coast, that I associate with cold, hard winds swirling up an arroyo and with the taste of succulent lobster boiled in sea water, the sun setting amidst stark contrasts of eroded land."
