Fictional World
Birchbark, moss, sticks, wood The human footprint on earth is so overwhelming with its dire consequences that here in this tiny diorama, I turn to the intimate for some kind of solace. It’s been a kind of play acting to create a hybrid birchbark character in this camouflaged scene placed within a live jacquemontii birch tree. It blends with the landscape suggesting integration instead of domination. We don’t often have the chance to peer into another world from the edge of the frenetic path.
