Limited Edition Photographic Series on Canvas Tree Paintings explores perception within the complex ecosystems of Tofino’s temperate rainforest. Palmer photographs the surfaces of Cedars and Sitka Spruce at close range, capturing a living tapestry of epiphytes such as mosses, lichens, and fungi woven across the bark. These naturally occurring patterns become abstract compositions, revealing the hidden richness and vibrancy of the forest’s microcosms. By isolating these details, the work shifts attention from the familiar whole to the intricate systems that comprise it, encouraging viewers to reconsider how we see and interpret living environments. What initially reads as texture or decoration gradually resolves into evidence of ecological interconnection and life cycles.
