Log Series 1995 Alison Moritsugu Alison Moritsugu's painting is part of an ongoing series entitled the "Log Series" and is painted in a style similar to Flemish Realism. Moritsugu expects that the painting will fade and decay with time and exposure. She intends that this juxtaposition of traditional landscape painting with natural elements and environment "will reveal the deception and artifice found in seductive pastorals and grand views of the past and will hopefully lead us to create a new relationship with nature - a relationship that comes from trees, dirt, decay and our direct interaction with the earth."
