A Silver Lining is painted on found birch bark, gathered directly from the forest floor, allowing the material to carry its own history into the work. The surface becomes both image and subject: a fragile skin that once sheltered a living tree, now holding the trace of a moment spent looking upward. The composition depicts a birch forest seen from below, branches reaching and crossing overhead. Gold Indian ink threads through cool blue washes, catching the light like glimmers between trunks—fleeting, quiet moments of brightness against a subdued atmosphere. The vertical marks echo falling rain, bark scars, or the slow passage of time, blurring the boundary between observation and memory. Created after a walk in nature, A Silver Lining reflects on attention, reflection, and recovery—how moments of stillness outdoors can reveal subtle beauty even within fragility. The work holds the tension between vulnerability and resilience, suggesting that the silver lining is not grand or dramatic, but found in small, luminous details when we pause long enough to look.
