"theresa tree"
"August 2008, Rogue Studios, NYC"
Video of trees projected onto my body. I am bound cocoon-like to a plank & propped above a round pond filled with wet water-color paper. Mid way red & brown ink begins to seep through the swaddling and drip onto the paper. The sap/blood making a trace, a painting. So the contemplation is about consciousness, human and tree.
Identity
Non-existence
Tree / Wind
Existence beyond consciousness
Art / nature
A mark, a trace, a shroud, a stain
Theresa Tree
The contemplation on trees is for me about the origin of life/death, perhaps even the meaning or non-meaning of existence & our human irrelevance in the shadow of nature. Trees pre date mammals. If God is air (Prana), than trees are the mother of God. To me this is worth contemplation.
