By the Dripping Tree is a celebration of water as magical substance, its color, texture, viscosity and marriage with light. The project was first conceived as a video. Once the video was complete I had a desire to create something physical, work inhabiting a presence beyond light. The painting series evolved as I wrestled with paint - a substance that is primarily water.
There are multiple large scale pieces in the series; the title of the project is taken from a book of poems and is also the title of the piece documented above. Images are sourced from video stills, printed, painted and then re-digitized. The final inkjet prints are mounted on aluminum. Each piece is composed of multiple panels and can be installed in variety of ways depending on the site.
