About this work

The Past Linking Providers is a 2024 pen-and-ink work showing a single sprawling tree above a vast field of flowering, growing life. The tree is the title's "providers" — the lineage that made the field possible.

The piece reads as a meditation on inheritance: the way past lives, ancestors, and unseen forces continue to feed the present. Within the Physi-Tual framework this is not metaphor but description — the spiritual is where memory and the seen world overlap.

Available as canvas prints, greeting cards, and puzzles. The puzzle format is unusual for the catalogue but suits the piece — the act of assembling the image mirrors what the work is about.
