Artist Statement
Form has the ability of altering according to our perspective. Form also has the power to change it, inspire it, or evoke the emotions that drive it. I chose to emphasize how I perceive powerful emotions and significant human experiences, frozen within the growth of trees and plant life. The form they take as a series captures a significant quality humans possess. There is a resilience and willingness to continue to develop through challenging times. It is an unwavering desire that at times feels illogical in the midst of hopelessness. Trees whether in pieces or fully intact, have the ability to cleverly mirror that desire within us with grace and elegance. They can be considered cleverly disguised, physical reflections of that desire in itself. These images are an emotional discovery of who I am and what I have yet to reflect. The images may be considered physical reflections of that desire in itself cleverly disguised as emotions and experiences.
