Autumn 

Eyvind Earle’s ‘Autumn’ presents us with stylized trees, their forms rounded and dense, set against a muted sky. These arboreal figures, reminiscent of ancient sacred groves, invite contemplation on themes of nature and renewal. The tree as a symbol extends back through countless eras. In ancient cultures, trees were seen as cosmic symbols, connecting the earth below with the heavens above. Note the dark, brooding canopies against the light behind, a motif echoed in medieval depictions of the Garden of Eden and other depictions of nature. The forest, as a space, often represents the subconscious. It's a space where the individual confronts hidden desires and fears. Earle’s dense foliage evokes this sense of mystery, where the ordered rows below contrast with the organic, almost overwhelming, forms above. This juxtaposition creates a tension, a psychic landscape where control and chaos meet. This image is a powerful reminder of the enduring human fascination with nature, seen through the ever-shifting lens of cultural memory. A timeless emblem, perpetually reborn in the collective psyche.
