Artist Statement: Trees have long been symbolic of Heavenly Mother. Trees bless us with every life-giving breath we take. It seems natural, then, that a feminine blessing take place in a forest; the grove of the Mother. Women blessing women is at once natural and needed. Not in place of men giving blessings, but alongside—another form, another dialect, another connection to the divine communication that is sought by humankind.
