In Conversation With The Forest

Installation Title: In Conversation With The Forest

The textures, colors, and feel of a walk through a forest, the brief glimpses of bits and pieces as one moves through. Slow down, inhale, study the movement of light, the shades created by dep textures, revel in the silence before noticing the rustle of leaves, the sway of trees, the flurry of unseen species under leaves. Be there as fully and completely as possible
