About the art
Artist statement
The term Shinrin Yoku, “forest bathing”, emerged in Japan in the 1980s. The purpose of this practice was to offer an antidote to stressed out city dwellers and inspire people to reconnect with the country’s forests. In the 1990s, researchers began studying the physiological benefits of forest bathing, providing the science to support what we innately know: nature is healing.
Inspired by Japanese woodblock prints, Ukiyo-e, and the radiant energy of trees, Shinrin Yoku series attempts to illuminate their enchanting and healing power through a unique process of makeshift filters and digital manipulation. The images in this series are printed on ¾” glass panels in three different sizes using ceramic frit process. The resulting works are a combination of photograph and sculpture and can be displayed in ways that use a light source to illuminate the image.
