36" × 48" | Oil Pastel and Acrylic on Stretched Canvas | Original Artwork

The moment when you realize you are no longer simply looking at something in nature. Something is looking back. A moose stands quietly among the birch, almost belonging to the shapes, colours and textures surrounding him. His antlers disappear into the trees, his body into the forest floor. But his eyes find ours. I wanted that encounter to feel still rather than dramatic. No movement toward us, no threat and no story we need to understand. For a moment, we are simply two presences sharing the same space. That is what I keep returning to in my work—the possibility that when we pay attention long enough, the distance between observer and observed becomes smaller. Among is an invitation into that moment: to stand quietly, look, and discover that you have also been seen.
