From looking at pieces of his work i have noticed that a lot of his work seems to be in the outdoors. I Like how the text 'Good' in this piece is made of branches therefore it blends into the tree that it is made in.
I like how the text in this says 'To Look' and there is a landscape set behind it which looks quite admirable. I think that links the text with its background together however this might be nothing to do with the text, just someting i thought of myself.
