A little nature ASMR for your feed. Recorded a small stream rolling down the foothills after a very rainy couple of weeks.

Riparian Echoes is a sculpture about understanding the human impact on a local riparian woodland ecosystem. With so much noise pollution in this particular forest, I wanted to create a work that would allow someone to hear the forest in a new an unpolluted way.
I finished this piece this past fall, but only now finished going through the footage and editing it. Hope you enjoy the process!

Excited to share that I Want To Be Leaf is in Art & Ecology, an online exhibition at the O’Hanlon Center for the Arts! Definitely check out the whole show on their website — every piece is quite impressive and compelling!

After working with transparencies, I couldn’t help but experiment with these photo slides I’ve been saving. Hoping to explore depth with different layers but we’ll see…
There’s also something cool here about tiny images and memories.

Finally figured out a way to incorporate leaf ink! A new reiteration on the I Want To Be Leaf concept. This time (instead of paper) ink made from the leaves in the image give the work its color and texture. Also decided to experiment with prints on transparency and really like the hint of depth it gives.

I Want To Be Leaf (5in x 7in).
Digitally altered photography, laser printed onto handmade leaf paper, and touched up with conté.
I made paper from gathered fallen leaves earlier this winter. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to use it for and ended up sitting with the pages for a while thinking about various ideas. Eventually I ended up with this self portrait of sorts. There’s definitely something uniquely expressive that shows when digital meets natural.

Making DIY ink in 40 seconds …from leaves 🍂
Quick video showing how I used the left over water from making leaf paper to make ink.

Leaf ink and a quick moose study that I referenced from paleo-artist Jay Matternes.
Turns out, boiling leaves for paper-making makes a rich and dark leaf tea… not for drinking but for making ink. Tried some sketching to see if it works. I’d call it a success! I’d like to use the ink in some inventive ways… just not sure what yet 🤔
