This ongoing project is a fine art form-based photographic landscape nature study on the ways trees and tree parts physically reach into the above ground spaces in which they live.
The project rose out of deep fascination and wonderment for the forest and with a goal to develop visual acuity with its reaching parts.
Visually or formerly, images fall on a spectrum of simple to complex. Simple formal scenarios, i.e., branches, tree parts or solo trees reaching in from one or more sides of the frame into larger negative spaces, and second, complex formal scenarios, with branches reaching in all directions, almost completely filling up negative spaces, and entering the frame from all sides. I wanted to create formal relationships not dependent on a level horizon or traces of ground, but instead on how each tree part and tree interact with the frame, each other and the sky.
Volume I includes 8"x12" color prints on Hahnemuehle William Turner fine art archival paper with 2" warm off-white mattes inside .75" black walnut frames.
