Forests
I created this collection while reflecting on my time in forest ecosystems around the world. I learned from their ability to build networks for resource sharing. Forests create layers of systems that build life through relationships, an ancient idea among trees. I am struck by how this notion of abundant giving embedded within forest culture overflows, impacting even the weather and atmosphere. While making this collection I experimented with collage techniques to explore these life-giving environments.
