Red Oak Leafing Out

In size and style, “Red Oak Leafing Out” differs markedly from most of current body of work. Instead of interpreting an entire landscape in a large-format wool felting, here I focused on a single tree branch in the warming Appalachian springtime.

“Red Oak Leafing Out” is based on a reference photograph from my 2012 Appalachian Trail thru-hike. As I walked through the southern forests, signs of spring slowly started appearing and the gray forests began turning green again. I enjoyed the experience of walking north with the springtime, prolonging the season.
