Trees, Paper, Styx
These pieces are an abstract tribute to trees. Each work uses different aspects of tree products, i.e., wooden dowels and moldings, wood panels, and paper collage. The combination provides an underlying reference to human consumption of our natural resources. The process, like much of my work, involves recycling of paper products and is meditative in nature. I spend many hours selecting imagery and cutting and gluing the collage pieces to wood.
