"I think that I do feel that my nature is to express what this self, this particular self at this time, experiences in the world.  And that is so organic-I use that metaphor a lot but I'll use it again-it's like a pine tree producing pine cones, or a blackberry bush producing blackberries-it's just what happens with this being, now." - Alice Walker

Materials:

• Leucadendron pods
• Assorted Pine Cones
• Magnolia Pods
• Fantail Mushrooms
• Dried Moss
• Bronze Beads

Foraging and gathering are essential to my PodArt, whether it's done by me or my family and friends.  Communing with nature and collecting what it discards from time to time is both bonding and fun.  This piece is a lovely representation of both.
