And then there were more leaves, especially from the river birch tree, as if to say that it was their turn to play.

Things come into existence, stay for a while, then leave again. Leaf art is inherently ephemeral. Maybe that’s what’s so compelling about it.

Images next to images, being juxtaposed. Expressions next to expressions, having dialogues.

My own chaotic and thundering prints excited me, until I didn't know how to quell these forces of fire and water, of seen and unseen.
