This body of work began as expressions of grief and loss, of presence and absence—subtle shifting states that evolved, more broadly, into meditations on being. These "treescapes" (a combination of mono-printing and painting) are at once intimately known, like I know my own hands (which are like my mother's) or the way my babies felt in my arms, and they are also as unknown and mysterious as what the next moment will be (and bring) when it arises. Titles -"An Opening, "Emergence," "Generations," "Meditations on Being" and so on—merely point to the ineffable experience of making these images. Trees have been a theme my whole career, but in this work, it's as if the trees and I have merged.
