Compact Crown – Original Ink Drawing on Cement Tile

Drawn directly onto hand-cast cement tile using archival black ink, the work merges precision and material weight. The natural tonal shifts, faint surface variations, and edges of the cement remain visible, ensuring each tile is entirely unique. No two are alike — not in line, not in surface, not in character.

Compact Crown forms part of an ongoing body of tree studies by Warren Garland. These works are released as individual originals, not editions. Each piece stands alone as a singular object within the wider series — collected not as decoration, but as part of a developing practice.

This is not a print, not a reproduction, and not digitally transferred. It is a one-off artwork, drawn by hand directly onto its final surface. The cement gives it permanence; the ink gives it precision. Together, they create a small but substantial art object designed to endure.

For collectors, Compact Crown offers an accessible entry point into the series — intimate in scale, grounded in material, and distinct in character. Whether placed on a shelf, desk, or wall, it carries the quiet assurance of something made slowly and intentionally.
