The Woods - Sculpture
The sculptures in The Woods series began with an inspiration to work with recycled aspen wood as a base for mixed media. After foraging in our backyard with a chainsaw in tow, the first rounds were acquired.
I love working with the irregularity and personality aspen wood. Often these mixed media works on wood have multiple photo emulsion transfers with layers of resin in between to create an unusual sense of depth with the photography. The photographs are always images of aspen trees, either realistic or abstracted with manipulation of color.
2024 marked the start of a collaboration with my husband, Parker Waller on the Dendritic Dance. This 34-piece work was a collaborative concept executed together. More projects and commissions are in the works for 2024.
