The word "Coppice" is derived from ancient French language; its root - couper - means "to cut".   Basically it is a stand of trees that is being or has been periodically pruned or cut down to provide certain products like firewood, fence posts, etc.   I like the parallel this definition has with my own artistic efforts to grow, periodically take stock of my artwork, and then start my creative cycle anew.
