The forest goes on and on. The forest goes on and on in darkness. Most of these trees spread by their seedlings. Forests possess the power to remind what is of importance to humanity.
This work was painted about 40 years ago. Comprised of three washi collaged panels, each moves freely in the frame independent of one another. There is a tenderness to each, though a certain tension arises from their placement.
