Intimate Conversation 2023

My love of trees began early in life. Now, as then, I intuitively knew that trees are extraordinary beings. Recent research shows that trees have a complex unseen communication system facilitated by a fungal network. We know that nutrients, warning signals, and even history is communicated between trees. My aim in this series is not to represent trees as we think we know them, but rather to probe an expanded understanding of trees. I spray, drip and paint solutions onto exposed silver gelatin paper pushing against the very limits of analog printing while exploring the deeper essence of trees.
