Trees played a big part in my childhood and although I haven’t climbed (and fallen out of) one for a long time I still feel a close connection to them. Even though there are specific types of tree shape, globe, weeping, conical, each one has it’s own unique form, it’s own character. Whether my work involves working on a flat surface or in the round I try to evoke the kind of emotional and imaginative ideas I had for them in my youth.
