Thinking Tree
Thinking Tree is a deeply personal mixed media piece that unites memory, growth, and creativity. Printed on handmade paper crafted from gladiolus leaves grown in the artist’s own garden, the photograph features a river birch tree that was also lovingly raised from a sapling. This one-of-a-kind artwork layers two identical prints of the same image—both on the same handmade paper—carefully die-cut and reassembled to create dimensional texture and intentional depth.
The trunk is adorned with real bark from the river birch, blending organic elements with the printed image. A die-cut silhouette of a child reading atop a stack of books rises from the forest floor, reaching upward toward a sky embossed with gear-like thought bubbles—symbols of imagination and mental exploration.
This piece is more than a visual story—it's rooted in place, care, and time. Thinking Tree is ideal for contemplative spaces, book lovers, or anyone drawn to the quiet resilience and wonder of nature.
Size: 5x7 inches
Medium: Photography, handmade paper (gladiolus fiber), bark, layered die-cuts, embossing
