White Oak (Quercus alba)
Memory of Trees
Trees have a very deep and crucial meaning to human beings. The significance of old trees is archetypical; in our dreams they often stand for the wholeness of personality. The trees people love create special places; places to be in and places to pass through. Trees have the potential to create various kinds of social places.

Series Notes
I think everyone has a story or two about trees. All of mine relate to stories of time spent with family. What are your stories? Is it the one you sat under to read, the one you swung off as a child, or the one you used to hide behind as you kissed your first love? They are places of memories past, actions present and the promise of dreams to come... At least that's what I choose to believe!
The images in this series are created like we create our memories, one layer at a time.
