Site 12: Fred Lisaius Newcastle, Washington http://www.fredlisaius.com/ "Resurrection" We cut down a lot of trees in the Pacific Northwest. I feel a loss and a sadness when I drive around a country corner and see acres of stumps and piles of branches. Acclimatized is an opportunity to ressurect a fallen tree and honor the plants that have given so much to our region of the country.. I have rebuilt a tree. With wood gathered from tree and yard services, I have reconstructed a tree using grafting techniques and natural twine. I have attached hundreds of pressed leaves to the branches also using twine. Over the 3 month exhibition period, the twine will rot and the leaves will fall. The tree will have had one more season. The deeper I go into the forest the closer I feel to the truth. Off of the trail, there is a quiet calm where ideas can be contemplated and refined. In my paintings, I utilize the forum of nature to explore our relationship to the natural world and to each other. When it’s foggy I see everything more clearly. Shapes are simplified, colors subdued and a veil of mystery is cast. I like to incorporate transitions in my paintings- spaces such as change of season, day into night and awake to sleep are realms where the imagination and reality coexist. Nature is a mirror, that we can look into and understand ourselves better. My paintings provide a portal to place where dramas unfold, explorations can occur and discoveries are made.
