Notes
| These pieces were made during a one month Trelex Residency in the Peruvian Amazon |
| Rainforest, 2015/16. They aimed to conjure and reflect the strong immersive experience of being submerged in the undergrowth of the rainforest during my daily walks and an overwhelming sense of green. Mud from the forest floor helped to facilitate a direct connection with the forest as well as adding texture and depth. |
I am working within the continuum of artists from cave painters onwards, whose subject matter is nature. As our relationship with and ideas about nature change, in the shadow of the climate crisis, so there is an acceleration of different ways of working with it. I am engaged in ways of working ‘with’ nature, rather than to define, conceptualise or utilise it. In the words of French essayist Helen Cixous,, the work is::” a path into nature . . . Things are felt more by being caressed with discourse than being classified and named. They are felt in their essence.” [email protected]
