Karen Olson’s project Hold Me In Truth is inspired by her repeated visits to the same trees, where changing light and seasons reveal both strength and fragility. These daily encounters shape a body of work that expresses sensory impressions through photography and the tactile processes of folding, crumpling, shaping, and burning paper. Olson describes this practice as a way of engaging with her environment through sight, touch, sound, and movement, using paper as a natural medium capable of holding gesture and memory.
