Trees

“Forests are the great subject of my career—the spectrum of colors that is created as light from different times of the day and year pass through the branches and leaves; the shadows they create; the look, feel and sound of wind passing through them; the architecture of their roots and branches. I love listening to the stories of trees. In Utah we have aspens we call “Quakies”. They stand firm and tall and have an interconnected root system—we as humans have interconnected root systems and we can stand firm and tall. We need to preserve our natural habitat to preserve ourselves.” - Susan Swartz
