This unframed artwork was created on a professional quality reinforced cradled birch wood panel. Walking in the woods, I was intrigued with the holes that are created in a tree when a branch dies and the bark begins to form around the hole. These seemed that they could be portals to another place in time. The ceramic pieces were pressed into tree bark to create the texture for the "portals". These shapes were then used to create an abstract floral design. The portals are also representative of vaginas, which also act as a portal for new life into another world.
