Arrivals - Tree of Life. Fine Art Print. "I spent a year living in a studio/cabin in the woods, on the Niagara Escarpment, located in Ontario, Canada. That experience provided me with the opportunity to take excursions into the forest on a daily basis. It was a period of time when I was able to reflect on nature, away from the busyness of urban life, during each of the four seasons of the year. " "This Print is an example of my perennial interest in Life Cycles. A theme that I have embraced, which weaves its way through my work. I took hundreds of photographs of nature...

This print of a pine tree uses kitakata Japanese tissue chine collé to depict the warmth and colour of early autumnal light. It is then backed onto Hahnemule printmaking paper. The subject matter is from Ashton Court Estate in Bristol. This body of work is based on the book by Suzanne Simard, 'Finding the Mother Tree'. Trees communicate via mycorrhizal fungi to trade water and other nutrients. Ancient and mature trees nurture their offspring via these networks, as well as trading nutrients between other species. Botanist Simard has spent years working on this theory as part of a wider body of work, discovering what it means for forests, the climate and the wider Anthropocene. My work explores the ecological sublime and an appreciation of the majesty of nature. I use detailed intaglio etching, drypoint, lithography and chine collé to draw the viewer into an ethereal landscape that has an impact on our sense of place in relation to the natural world. I use primarily black and white with natural tones of chine collé and sometimes layers of lithographic texture to introduce warmth to the stark palette and to invoke a sublime emotional connection. I work from sketches, photographs, notes and memory to create my prints.
