Featured Artwork
Messages (E. terreticornis A Self Directed Residency with a tree), 2016
Natural Plant Dye on Silk,Wool 1420 x 3600 x 40
This series gives voice to the trees message of resilience and connectedness, of the cycle of oneness that it lives within. Everything an integral part of the interconnectedness, one supporting the other. The beauty of each leaf is simple and easily understood, there is such perfection in every part of this natural cycle.
Plant Study E. terreticornis, 2018
Digital Print on Cotton Paper, 1800 x 2000
Whilst working with a fallen tree in a self-directed residency, I became aware of the cycles of the tree within the landscape. Reducing this down to a set of composite still life images, recording the learned knowledge of life, death, decay and new life. From this I have developed an embodied memory of the tree, its life, its smells, how it feels, where it lives.
