Diptych relief print on handmade paper // Ed Ruscha’s New Wood, Old Wood from 2007 is a limited edition diptych relief print on handmade paper, measuring 13 by 34 inches. This mixed media work contrasts two wooden planks, one appearing fresh and smooth while the other shows the textures and imperfections of aged wood. The relief technique gives a tactile quality, emphasizing the grain and details of each plank, making them feel almost real. Ruscha’s minimalist approach brings attention to the passage of time and the transformation of materials, inviting contemplation on the subtle beauty in both new and old forms. The handmade paper enhances the organic feel of the piece, complementing the subject’s natural theme.

What is New Topographics?
New Topographics is a term coined in 1975 by curator William Jenkins to describe a group of photographers whose work focused on formal black-and-white images of urban and industrial landscapes. Jenkins initially described their aesthetic as banal, but the photographers themselves argued that their compositions were as significant as those of natural landscapes, emphasizing the beauty in everyday, man-made environments.
