Leaning Crown – Original Ink Drawing on Hand-Cast Cement Tile

Leaning Crown is an original ink drawing defined by tension and balance. The rounded canopy forms a dense mass of looping line, while the trunk tilts deliberately, creating a subtle diagonal pull through the composition. The tree appears braced — as though shaped by wind — yet steady in its footing.

Drawn directly onto hand-cast cement tile using archival black ink, the fine precision of the linework contrasts with the weight and permanence of the material. The natural tonal variations and surface character of the cement remain visible, ensuring each tile is entirely unique. No two works are alike.

Part of an ongoing body of tree studies by Warren Garland, Leaning Crown is released as a singular original rather than an edition. It is not a print or reproduction, but a one-of-a-kind artwork drawn directly onto its final surface. The cement anchors it; the ink gives it movement.

Small in scale yet substantial in presence, the piece sits between drawing and object. Framed in wood and presented in a custom box, it is ready to join a considered collection.

Ideal for collectors seeking a distinctive, one-of-a-kind artwork with subtle dynamism and structure.
