Artist Biography |
|
An enduring passion for trees
has led to many years spent visiting woodlands and collecting images,
which are now bearing fruit as a series of large charcoal studies, in
addition to ink and watercolour works.
I am interested in the survivors – not the fine symmetrical specimen,
nor how the tree relates to its landscape but the way it provides a
solid representation of time. Although keen not to anthropomorphise an
organism which has a very different life to ours, I am interested in the
links between human intervention and the development of the tree,
particularly those that have been pollarded, coppiced, hedged or managed
in the past, linking us to times when trees were regarded as a vital
renewable resource.
I have begun to record the evidence for this negotiation between human
and tree, in the physical embodiment of their history and the forms
created in response to stress, damage and disease. Here, an elderly
parkland sycamore, lopped to reduce the risk of its massive limbs
falling on to a busy road, provided me with a new perspective on a
familiar form.
