Another one of the interesting things that came from Saturday’s talk at the Principle Gallery was a photo that was given to me by one of the audience members. After the talk a young man named Nathan approached me and told me he had been on a boat off the coast of Venezuela when he saw this sight. He immediately thought that this was one of my trees and snapped a shot with the disposable camera he had at hand.
I’m glad he did.
I’ve always maintained that the locales of my landscapes are imagined. It’s really interesting to see a photo that shows that there are trees and places like those represented in my work, that they are possible. I wonder if there’s room on that tiny island for me?
Thanks for the photo, Nathan.
