Overstory

This is an exploration of the tension between passages that read as painted — rendered, legible, almost botanical — against the more textured, worked areas of paint around them. I pushed the green past anything natural, testing how far that contrast could hold. It ended up feeling verdant to me, and reminded me of the way Richard Powers describes trees in The Overstory.
