Tree Spirit

Description

Lately, whenever I’m out in nature, I feel as if I’ve entered into one of the enchanted worlds I read about in fairy tales when I was little. I see petrified animals in boulders, faces lurk in the trunks of trees, fantastic creatures appear trapped into driftwood shapes. Camera clicking, I take picture after picture, trying to capture the elusive images for future translation into print.

I don’t remember the name of the place where the photo for this print was taken. A quiet forest trail somewhere in the interior of BC, a hot and tedious hike to a water fall that turned out to be nothing but a trickle into a puddle, and a collection of photos to remember it all by.

The light was yellow through the trees and there were faces of strange creatures in the tree trunks. Sometimes, the thing we go to find is not the thing we come away with.
