Line Dance, Tree Ring Patterns, var. 28 is part of a series that explores the patterns and abstractions that I see when I photograph tree stumps and wood rings in their natural settings. Looking at the patterns in the tree rings and the additional patterns created by overlapping and fragmenting the imagery allows me to see things in new ways. Shaping the pieces introduces a new element – light and shadow interacting with the folding surfaces. This dimensional work expands my view in many different directions.
