Out in the woods

Out in the woods

2021
Dusseldorf, Germany

​

A series of 50 photographs documenting spontaneous charcoal drawings made on cut wood stumps in the forest near my studio.

These stumps — once living trees — had been severed, leaving behind raw, open surfaces like scars on the land. Drawn to them, I began making intuitive charcoal sketches directly onto the wood: ghostly faces, forgotten beings, and fragments of memory that seemed to rise from within.

The act was both playful and ceremonial, a way to honor what had been cut down, to give voice to what was lost, and to invite the forest to speak through me.
