Some new work making it's way out from the dark.

The hand cut trees and thistles add a new layer of interest to some pieces that have been laying dormant for months. Sometimes all an image needs is one more element for it to feel complete.  I love keeping my work simple. I love seeing the space around forms. I relate this to allowing each element to 'breathe'.

An old in-complete piece named 'Luna' now feels finished with the addition of a hand cut tree. I initially intended the background to read as a galactic space. The black and white spheres on the right push and pull creating depth and perhaps the illusion that the spheres or planets are moving through space.
