With respect for natural detail, New York based artist Alison Moritsugu captures the essence of Mother Nature in her log paintings. In this project, Moritsugu used trees as both the subject and the canvas. With those log painting, Moritsugu allows viewers to see what America was like when settlers first arrived and additionally depicts the destructive effects of industrialization. As Moritsugu said, “I like the juxtaposition and tension created by having an image of nature on a section or sample of real nature.”
