My Ghost Tree series is based on careful observation of and meditation on trees and forests and attempts to portray these lifeforms in their essential or spiritual form. The creation of them has also been a meditative and contemplative focal point for my own spirit and I hope that others can derive some of the same talismanic or mandalic effects in beholding the images.

There is increasing scientific evidence for sentience and sociality in plants. A forest is a community of individuals interacting in complex ways. Trees react to changes in their surroundings, share resources and information with each other, and remember events.

This work has not yet been mounted but will be soon which will add $50 to its price. Let me know if you'd like this process hurried up, or buy it asap if you want it unmounted.
