BRANCHES, ROOTS

 

there are various wild field herbs, strange and miscellaneous, which, when combined in the context of a drawing, create a countryside, rustic, wild mood

 

 

and then there are branches, pieces of tree, twisted roots, towering fresh shoots that, when placed in the context of a drawing, create a mood of growth, elevation, and rooting

 

rooting that is stoic and natural, unshakable, like the root that generated us and stands within us, beautiful, powerful, proud, and inviolable

 

like a tree that grows and makes its way, towers upwards, seeks the light
and finds it
and enjoys it

 

tree branches that perhaps do not have a specific associative meaning, but serve only to create an archaic, ancient, and inexorable mood

 

or perhaps, beyond the evocation of a character, there are trees that have something more to say in their symbolism

 

With love, but always irreverent
