Under the Trees is a photographic documentation of a drawing placed in the natural setting where it was created. In this work, shifting sunlight was recorded by tracing shadows as they moved in relation to tree branches over set increments of time. Timing the drawing activity allows for uninterrupted mark making and greater concentration on “being” while working (rather than “doing”). Marking the shifts in light encourages staying fully present in the experience. Tracing these by hand and recording them digitally marks the ephemeral and brings forth overlooked wonders in nature.
