Transfigure

I was intrigued by a post by a fellow blogger. She writes that her father sees the forest anew every time he ventures out into it. What she wrote resonated with my feelings about the composition. I see this image not as death and horror, which it certainly can be viewed as such, but a recycling, an epiphany of sorts, a transfiguration of how and what we think about the nature that surrounds us. We learn its language for the first time every time we engage with it. 

Transfigure was composed with a series of photographs, collaging and a bit of sketching. Click on it to enlarge.

    Fascinating. After I clicked on the picture, I zoomed in on certain spots and saw even more details. Loved it

      Thanks Lia. I love the photo of you and your dad. It reminds me of the many, many times my dad and I spent together living and hiking in the forest.

      Yes, I use my own images. I can’t imagine using any others. Thanks so much! I like how your post concentrates on affordability. There’s so much going on now with that, I fear we’re heading to interesting times.
