I stepped outside and my foot caved into the ground
Bright giclée print on heavyweight archival matte paper. Each print has a 1” white border to allow for framing. The original 23 x 29” in size and was created using a variety of media on wood panel. Printed to order. Each print takes 2-3 weeks to ship. Prints larger than 8x10 are shipped rolled.
Probably the oldest painting in my current portfolio, I created this piece at the age of 18. I remember being tired of my usual mediums and decided to experiment by using oils on wood (both of which I had never used before). The panel of wood I naturally gravitated towards had these mesmerizing patterns already present within wood, I desperately wanted to highlight these patterns and create visual unity between the medium and subject matter.
I started by collecting images of severed tree trunks, going back to the source of the medium I was going to be painting on. I spent weeks wandering my local hiking trails collecting these. I then printed out all of these images of tree stumps in a variety of sizes and affixed them onto my wood panel, I then painted upon these images fusing the medium and subject matter together.
I am that, I am that, I am.
I am the trees, I am the ground,
you and I are not separate, severed,
but one,
singular, connected, whole.
