A set of trimmed trees in Blue Bird Square in Olean, NY. I love that someone has this job. These three were looking freshly trimmed on the day I was back in my hometown for the Southern Teir Biennial (exhibiting one of my tree prints, Pruned Plume no less).
This image may resurface as a print one day as well.
P.S. These rounded trees are also really magical when covered in lights around Christmas.
September of last year I was visiting Jackson, WY. I was there as part of an exhibition at the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts, showing with a great group of artists I had met at the Ucross Foundation– Jenny Dowd, Mayme Kratz and Ruth Boerefijn. Here are a couple tree studies from my trip and some exhibition images. The three-channel video made for some interesting shadows. This show was the first time I had onlookers dance in front of one of my projection installations (to no sound other than wind). Very awesome. They even got me to join in.
I regularly pass this grove on my drive from Trumansburg into Ithaca. My iPhone captured these trees with a ghosting effect as I was riding past, making grey silhouettes. The afterimage reminds me of a woodblock print.
