Leaning Birch
The artwork depicts a dense forest dominated by tall, slender birch trees with distinctive white bark marked by black patterns. A large birch tree trunk in the foreground leans slightly to the right, drawing the viewer’s attention with its intricate texture. The forest floor is richly detailed with textured fibers in deep brown, green, and yellow hues, suggesting undergrowth and fallen leaves. The background features a misty, ethereal atmosphere created by a blend of gray and muted tones, enhancing the sense of depth and mystery within the woodland scene. The overall composition evokes a serene and immersive natural environment through the soft, tactile quality of the materials used.
This piece was one of 23 felted artworks in Vicki’s three-month solo exhibition at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.
