top The Apple Tree Man

In rural English folklore, the oldest tree in an orchard was inhabited by the Apple Tree Man, a spirit who protected the trees, and who sometimes guarded treasure among his roots.

top Dragon

"Dragon", 2014, acrylic, dried leaves and spackling paste on fiberboard, 30 x 30 cm.

The leaves were pressed last summer, then mounted on the MDF panel with acrylic medium mixed with carpenter's glue, then slathered with spackling paste (while still wet.) After drying for several days, the piece was sanded, stained with acrylic, covered with spackling again, sanded again, and stained a final time. The "dragon" was then worked up from the exposed traces of the leaves and from the cracks and imperfections in the surface.
