Thea Weiss – Fragility and Wonder II

Artist Statement

Nature has had a meditative effect on me. I am drawn to the natural world, in particular, trees seeking out and examining the trunks and the personality each one reveals. For me, the roots of the tree hark back to stability and a place in time. These same roots reflect my connection with the heritage of my Jewish American mother and Czech born, Holocaust survivor, mother-in-law. Roots reach out for sustenance and nourishment in the same way that these relationships have enriched my life.
