41cm x 31cm

Oil on canvas

The paintings in Can’t See the Forest are an extension of my Symbiont series; portraits of people merging with trees. The Symbionts are inspired by the cracks in the pavement where trees take root, in the decay and rebirth of the world. They emphasize our interconnectedness with the other living things that make up our planet, and highlight the decisions we need to make if we are to survive as a species.

Can’t See the Forest is comprised of fifteen paintings of varying sizes, which when hung together combine to create a forest scene. Each painting can be viewed either separately or in combination with its companions. Only by viewing them together can one see the whole picture, but only by viewing them separately can one appreciate each individual personality.
