Sculpture: paper, earth pigments, carbon and tree roots
Paper shopping bags are reimagined, combined with carbon and earth pigments collected from the forest floor. The materials are cast in moulds, created from bark remnants.
Trees, harvested for consumer use, come full circle to reflect upon their source of origin in the forest. Through the papermaking process, the sculptures convey concepts of continuum and regeneration that exist in nature.
Roots nourish the ecosystem in the web of life and are the communication network that link the community of trees and organisms in the complex living system within the forest. Even after the death of a tree, the roots provide nourishment for new growth.
