The Secret Language of Trees (Series)

The Secret Language of Trees

Nature studies, some of which will form the basis of a chapbook of images and poems. I take photographs of trees because it helps me to write poetry. Trees teach me to see. They bring me into the vital and immediate present in a way that culture cannot. These images are a mixture of digital photographs and scans of 35mm negatives.

  1. I understand and connect with trees as you do………they are beings connected to everything…….your work is of “a moment in time” …..I am an artist and photographer too…… Your work is showing us the beauty…..the depth…..the knowing of our world….which our ancient aboriginal culture has always known……thank you so much for your vision….your eloquent poetry, which touches hearts beyond thinking……
