“All people look, a few see”
Ernest Holmes - Creative Mind
In these times we can look to nature to get a sense of its organic order, decomposing and reconstructing, in this marvelous and awe-inspiring cycle. Each pinecone provides the seeds of life, and from a single seed derives a pine forest, providing an ecosystem for all who rely on it.
Created from around 3700, pine cone scales, each one deconstructed and rebuilt, with its original sense of patterns, markings, and tones, slot into place on the canvas to reveal this unique textured artwork. The noise, the smell, and the ambiance of the forest are reminiscent when you deconstruct and see what the artwork is created from.
