New Direction

Originally, I created this design for a journal cover. I'm involved in a group called Bound for Freedom at Exit 59. The journal entry on this website, just briefly describes what this organization is about.

Yesterday, I pulled out the design that I created a couple months ago and brought it to life. The two pieces that I posted show the connection between a tree and its roots. The hidden roots provide life to the huge organism above ground. Without roots the tree would be non-existent (or dead). Even in the winter when the tree appears to be lifeless, the roots provide life. The roots are a promise of the hope of spring and the life of tomorrow.

I took pictures of my process; three different steps helped me to arrive at my final piece. The first piece was created on cardboard; the second was completed on a paper journal cover.
