Leafy Green EyesFused Iridized Glasswith Dichroic 12" diameter 2009 Cullinane Private Collection |
Leafy Green Eyes was inspired by a surprise visitor. What if it was possible to talk to the trees? What if it was impossible to imagine not talking with them? A wonderful young boy came to visit me with his family this summer and we watched his world open a little that day. Through his enthusiasm, we were all shown a little magic as he reminded us that we too can always feel the trees and talk with them as they continue to sway in the breeze. Watching over our every move, they warmly embrace us with their outstretched leafy eyes. Thank you Eric for loving my trees as much as I do - and for being you.
