A limited-edition series of richly hand-detailed prints, exploring the magic + symbolism of trees.
wisdom • dignity • balance • strength • resilience
Expressive ink + watercolor, photographic and hand-detailed elements all intersect in this brand new series that will grow one tree at a time.
Artist’s NoteGazing up at the canopy of an old tree has always felt like coming home — a sense of coherence with something both wise and wondrous.
For as long as I can recall, I’ve had a profound kinship with trees — ever-inspired by what it is to feel both rooted and reaching.
With their fractal branch and root lines ever-dividing, exploring, and expanding —
they manage to be fully expressed,
both above and below.
“There is a deity in nature that we all understand. When you walk into a forest—great or small—you enter it in one state and emerge from it calmer. You have that cathedral feeling and you’re never the same again. You come out of there and you know something big has happened to you…”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Enjoying the freeing sense of experimentation that often accompanies working within a range of mixed media, fluid inks and watercolour, artist Nicole Kagan creates her works within an inherently mindful process.
