Piece description from the artist
I came across these massive tangles of roots, trunks, and branches—between 12-16 feet high and nearly double that in width—lining a beach at fairly regular intervals. Their imposing presence and uncanny placement made them seem like sentinels guarding the beach, or totems for some nature rite. With their bone-like texture and color, the forms bring to mind skeletons of some fantastical creatures. I aim to convey their ominous and mysterious presence in individual portraits.
