ABOUT

ANCESTOR TREE (admit one)

2025

48X30” Canvas

I dreamt that my dad lives in a tree house at our old house, in the magnolia he tied our zip line to. At night he walks around the corner to our new house but he’s not allowed to come past the oak tree. I don’t know why he can’t come in; my dream book says homes symbolize your mind and what you let in or keep out.

The ladder on the dead limb of the Ancestor Tree is broken because I can’t get to where he is either. The bucket drops guidance and memories down to me when I am willing to catch it.
