Leaves series 2001

A short “Leaves” series followed the flower series in 2001 where I really started working with
the idea of integrating the background, mid ground and foreground. I was thinking about how I
could have separation of the planes, but integrate them and make them relate to each other.
I was hoping to have them work together and integrate on all levels.

The idea of Leaves as a theme brought me in the direction of the natural world and ecosystems
that I would revisit later in my artistic journey.
