"When I was a little boy, my mom used to take us around the yard and we would talk to the plants and trees; she said that it would help them grow. I remember looking at the branches and the leaves and seeing faces hidden in the patterns. When I got older, I discovered the myths about the Green Man and was fascinated by this symbol of life and rebirth." - Andrew Thornton
