Beneath Still Boughs

Beneath Still Boughs is a tactile exploration of forest textures rendered in wool. Measuring 16 by 19 inches, this three-dimensional piece captures the essence of a birch tree trunk, with its distinctive white and gray bark accented by black markings. Surrounding the central trunk are lush patches of green and yellow-green felt that evoke moss and lichen, bringing a realistic sense of natural growth to the composition. The irregular, organic shape of the artwork enhances its connection to the woodland environment, inviting viewers to engage not only visually but almost physically, as if reaching out to touch the cool, damp bark and soft moss found deep in the woods. Through its rich textures and earthy hues, this piece gently transports you into a quiet moment beneath a tree’s canopy, where the interplay of light and life can be felt in every fiber.
