the beauty of trees

I grew up in the middle of the woods, and I have always been inspired by nature. My coworker showed me these 2 artists and it was love at first sight. Tim Knowles work is as delicate as it is powerful. He attaches pens to the branches of trees and the movement of the branches in the wind create these beautiful works of art. Breathtaking...
