Tree Map

Tree Map

During the residency in La Napoule, I metaphorically treated a tree as a microcosm of the world, with its fractured bark outlines acting as little islands. Together, the outlines of the bark islands defining the shape and structure of the tree evoked the map-like boundaries.  After coming back to my studio, I produced Tree Mapseries, delicately etches the outlines of my bark islands into porcelain.
