Artist Statement

The Japanese believe there is an almost spiritual quality to the effect of light permeating trees. They have a specific word for it – Komorebi. I’ve been studying these effects for many years and in particular the interaction of trees, light and buildings. This painting is a constructed reality. I make models of building facades and paint studies of trees from life and then I bring the two objects together to evoke Komorebi.
