Leaving a Mark

Concentric rings on a tree trunk reveal a tree’s age and climatic conditions under which it grew. Loops, whorls and arches reveal human identity in unique fingerprints.

In this series I explore the metaphor of concentric lines that are shared with trees and humankind.

As we relate and connect to trees through a complex sense, touch, we experience the texture of life. When we pay attention, our ridged fingertips receive the rich language of bark, tree and forest, at once unique and universal.
