Lesia Sochor
Speaking of tree spirits, Lesia Socher’s “Birch Mother” utilizes birch bark, fabric, wire and roots to form a sculpture that commands a powerful presence nearby. Around the gallery, various birch bark bowls and deft, delicate watercolors of birch bark by the same artist further emphasize the sense of “Birch Mother” as some formidable source that begets other forms of itself in different manifestations.
