"There are many sorts of snow, which leave different impressions on the landscape. In this case, a wet snowfall throughout a windy night effectively painted this copse of trees white. It created an almost negative effect. Tree trunks and leaves which are normally dark, became white, leaving shadow area to create a mysterious sense of space. Both foreground and background wrap and encase the trees, allowing the trees to move forward in space. They appear to float towards the viewer. This was a wonderful moment for me. All I had to do was to make the picture. Nature had already done all the hard work and I remember feeling extremely nervous that I was going to make a mess of it! Fortunately, I was able to act and perform as a responsible medium. At best I would say that I was an enthusiastic collaborator on this image and I certainly take little credit for it being such an amazing sight. The first print was made in 2004 and the edition of 45 sold out in 2008. The print is in the permanent collection of The Yale Centre for British Art, New Haven, Connecticut, USA."  Michael Kenna
