Very simply, these three images created during April, May, and the first days of June, arose after witnessing a seemingly sudden overnight appearance of leaf and petal, like a sea of green stars upon a tree. Struck by the urgency and beauty of this, I have aimed to express a hidden quality made visible - like the trees and plants themselves - the surging quintessence of Nature that enlivens all beings.
Also in mind is the renowned absence of trees in parts of Scotland. You may like to look at the work of this charity in bringing about a new era of wood and forest in this country. Based at Findhorn, near Inverness, Trees For Life seek to rejuvenate areas in which the tree is conspicuous by its absence.
