Forest Flickers

A collection of abstract green paintings, inspired by flickering light through forest canopies and undulating shadows on the ground below.

During the process, I may make hundreds of works. Created with a single, rippling movement. A burst of energy. And of those, there are a handful that will sing with more clarity than the rest.

These paintings ask you to be present for the ripples of energy and waves of emotion that travel through your body.

Alive, in this unique moment, never to be repeated.

You are made of the same powerful ingredients as all of nature.

IMAGINE

You adjust your balance
to the undulations of understory.
The gentle pad of your steps
supported by ages of earth
beneath you.

You navigate over and around
enormous, ancestral roots.
And enjoy the satisfying snap
of tiny fallen twigs underfoot.

Drink in the forest air;
to quench an ancient thirst.
The subtle citrus scent of resin
and damp soil fills your lungs.
Breeze plays tag with branches
and brushes your cheek on its way.

Towering canopies
are thick with bird babble.
Their rippling, inky shadows
slow-dance surround you.
And within them,
fronds of ferns unfurl.
Silvery bluish lichen curls.

Beyond, golden ribbons of rays
reach down through the thicket.
They sprinkle the forest floor
with lustrous, dappled, confetti.

You step into the spotlight,
onto a carpet of olive moss.
Cushioned, buoyant.
As the sun catches,
you watch it bloom.
Rich honey hues.

Above, a chorus of leaves
shimmer and sigh.
Lit from behind,
thousands of paper lanterns.

Your body hums in harmony
with all of nature.
Resuming its place,
as though it had lost
neither time nor space.

Here in the verdant vastness,
that vibrates with quiet magic.
