Textured 'Painting' Series::..
In this series, Jonah covers wood canvases with patchworks of different, natural materials that, once completed, become painting-like. Jonah hand collects materials for these works, which include leaves and bark from the Madrone tree, as well as, paper from the bald-faced hornet nests that fall from the trees in winter (more details here).
