Seasons

Handmade paper, plants, and branches - 2017

As the seasons change through the year the natural world changes, grows, and fades with plants and weather to mark its presence. This piece is a reflection of the changing seasons with handmade paper made from plants gathered through the year: spring wildflowers, red onion skin, black walnuts, to name a few. Suspended from the ceiling the branches hold clusters of these paper circles and it becomes its own quiet being, a gradient of colors, requesting nothing more from the viewer than perhaps a tree might ask in the woods.
