The warm sepia tones are the colours of nostalgia and fleeting memories, assisting me to delve deeper into my investigation of projecting spiritual experiences onto natural environments. My fascination with trees relates to the mythological traditions of the ‘World Tree’, which is a contact between the mundane and the divine. Similar spiritual connections are also felt with sacred groves and are both common features in ancient religious traditions. The striving branches and contorted forms of struggle within mystical forests, reflects our yearning to connect with nature and a desire to experience wholeness both within ourselves and in the world around us.
