Boughs of Our Form

By Victoria Wagner

Three tales that center on specific types of trees and their geographic and emotional location, effects and potential for energetic exchanges. A memoir told through a narrator with a vigorous practice in visual and historical art sprinkled liberally with many color references to the author's wood sculpture, paintings and exhibitions."With each tale, Victoria gently coaxes us into-- and walks us along--the threads of her own transitions through love and loss. It's as if we, her readers, are present as each breath she takes is exchanged with the natural environment around her. The stories reveal glimpses at the intersection of her work, her artistic process and her place among the bays and redwoods where she has found solace, tamed her demons and built a family for herself. She invites us in with care, as she touches on those mysterious and lovely growing pains that are the foundations of a creative, meaningful and fully lived life." - Dani Burlison, author of Dendrophilia and other Social Taboos Victoria Wagner resides and teaches in Northern California. In the redwood forest that borders the Russian River, Pacific Ocean and Salmon Creek Watershed she sculpts, paints and writes. Her studio work has been included in exhibitions throughout the United States. Boughs of Our Form is her first published book.
