Bark with Lichen: number 5 Collage

This is part of an ongoing series of pieces that have been inspired by my walks in the woods. In particular, what I have found while focusing in on the tiniest details. Fragments of fallen leaves and bark and stones. The texture of bark and the strange and beautiful microscopic life that continues, even when something is considered no longer 'alive'. The images are a combination of tracing of photographs, doodles created from looking at surfaces through a microscope and my own imagination. I use layers of translucent Japanese papers, mounted on birch panel. Each layer is a response to the one before it so the surface is created over time, letting the piece be a 'gathering' of sorts. Just as I imagine the way things gather over time on the forest floor.
