Canopy: Spring/Autumn

220 four color woodblock prints; 2000+ flattened & stamped leaves
installed at Gallery Sho.Dan, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
collaboration between Montreal Artist Shilin Hora and American Artist
Mark Rumsey

The image is that of a canopy formed by trees, within the canopy eyes
appear. The eyes are symbols, ways of understanding, their form mimics
that of a leaf. Something in watching. Throughout human history we
have been compelled by the idea that something is watching us, looking
for wrong doing, protecting us, taking care of us, shunning us. Our
perceptions frame this relationship, this understanding.
