'FOUND''

Found is the working title of this body of work. It holds the memory of my thoughts as they reveal themselves to me, when I walk in the fields near my home. I stare in wonder at the small things, the taken for granted; such as the forgotten fragility of a new bud, the beautiful shape of a huge mushroom; or the acorn, with its differences of texture on the inside to the outside. The fern reminds me of a baby’s hand unfolding; the mushroom reminds of hearts and arteries.

 I’m interested in how nature repeats and echoes the shapes that I see, such as coral and foxgloves. The connection of all things to each other continues to fascinate me. I am reminded at these moments of fairy tales and myths, it makes me consider whether they are real and whether some have messages concealed within them and if so which have been passed down, in order to teach us something about our lives.
