I digitally modelled the tree from that painting and imagined how it might exist in 3 dimensions. I projected the image across walls and floor to distort the image. Then, working wet on wet, I allowed the ink to respond to the laws of hydro physics. I thought of this as a rewilding of the digital image. I dislocated some sheets of the paper grid off the walls/floor. This complicated the act of perception, giving the viewer pause to recognize the source image and consider the impact of these iconic cultural images on our perception of the landscape.
