Detail of Ghost Forest

Here are the detail shots so you can see each image and it's embossed branches. Ideally, I would like to create the space somewhere other than my basement studio, but for the time being I was able to get a sense of how I wanted it and what else it might need. I like the set-up to be forest-like so you can walk through it and interact with the space/trees. The paper is 12 minute beaten sisil--and then 5 minute sisil (doesn't make much of a difference; i'd probably recommend 5). Sisil is the most amazing fiber--it's strong, fast beating, fast draining, heavy, thick and is used in any product you can think of, like cat scratching posts, elevator cords, car manufacturing and is the new replacement for absestos. Crazy stuff!
