Image Statement: I've developed a rare autoimmune disease which has made it very difficult for me to hike in my woods any longer, and this piece was creeach eleated as a way for me to memorialize, for myself, the experience of being in the forest. The fabrics were eco-dyed with fallen leaves from the forest floor, and ment is based on something that I have actually observed, and photographed, in the woods.
