new printwork from a body of work called Dendroid, which is of Greek origin and means treelike; branching like a tree; arborescent.
The prints provide what has been called, "an interesting dichotomy in the use of this extreme digital manipulation to a natural landscape scene. Essentially creating an alternate reality! When I look at them, it gives me a metallic taste in the back of my mouth."
