About Wood and Tree Primary Function: Postair

Book Text: Is postair é Wood and Tree a cruthaíodh do sheimineár ailtireachta a bhí ar siúl in Tóiceo na Seapáine. Is é téama an tseimineáir ná úsáid nua na hadhmaid, ábhar clasaiceach, san ailtireacht nua-aimseartha. Úsáideann an postair teanga ghrafach nua-aimseartha chun líníocht chlasaiceach de fháinní crainn a insamhladh. Rinneadh tástáil ar línte a raibh líon, tiús, cuar agus dath éagsúil orthu chun an patrún a chumadh. Tá an toradh matamaiticiúil ó thaobh struchtúir de, ach mar sin féin fanann áilleacht nádúrtha. Tá tomhas 210 faoi 297 milliméadar ar an bpostair. Taispeánadh é ag bealach isteach, áit a bhféadfadh cuairteoirí bileoga beaga a thógáil.
