There is always an unacknowledged presence within the landscapes we occupy. An ephemeral presence, that is neither object, plant nor tree, but the presence of shadow and shade. This is a presence that attracts us, a presence that nurtures the earth, a presence that we find comfort within. It is a presence that is here, approaching us, then surrounding and protecting us and ultimately leaving us, leaving us with a tactile resonance of memory. Shadow Domain represents a moment of protection, that moves beyond our place and within a new day, returns to touch and reoccupy the space of its former presence. Within a larger context, the plentitude of shadow migrations flow out from under their respective tree(s), their object source, extending this tempered presence across the broader landscape, the shadows merging with others, communicating with others, communicating with us while moving past. The collective Shadow Domain extends its protective veil to surrounding and distant trees, touching one another through the body of the earth – bringing a sense of collective security and nurture to neighboring groves.
