These Trees
Acetone photographic transfer, 12” x 13”
I live in the Pacific Northwest and am surrounded by trees. I walk in the forest
often. It’s a good place to clear your mind and just feel the peace of the old
growth. This quote by Shakespeare, (As You Like it, Scene 3, act 2) struck a
chord for me. With our transfer technique using photocopies and acetone I
was able to transfer the tree image to 90lb hot-press watercolor paper, a nice
surface to take the image and also to write on. I added the words, collaged
from various sized letters and transferred in the same way, but drawn over
and made clearer with pen. The words are uneven and stacked which seemed
fitting along side the tangled, wild tree branches. Dry pastel was pressed into
the paper with a cotton pad inside a border for a tinge of color.
