Revisiting the spooky forest

Exactly three years ago I was being driven through the tall trees northeast of Melbourne, huge trees and ferns like these (photo by Palmina Moore) -The memory of the drive surfaced in some "spooky forest" pieces made at the CQ summer school in 2007, which I've written about here and here.

Since then I've been collecting spooky forest pictures and thoughts.

And this little "forest" quilt is based on an etching by Australian landscape painter Fred Williams, seen in a book - a couple of years before my trip to Australia.
