Echoes of Decay

A dystopian landscape in which human signs of life have disappeared and only monumental oaks thrive forms the starting point for this series of work. Ageing, damaged and bent by time, the trees stand as remaining witnesses to a vanishing world.

This eerie vision emerges from an increasingly alienated relationship with a world shaped by speed, vibrance and constant change. It draws on the experience of an artist with a progressive muscle disease, navigating this environment at the rhythm of physical decline whilst contemplating every move. 

Echoes of this severe suffering take shape in the oaks’ weathered silhouette and in every leaf that trembles.
