Opens Thursday 1st November at 7pm. Put it in your diaries.
I have produced a little book that tells the stories that accompany the plants. The exhibition will be:
"A collaboration with the
plants that grow willfully or recklessly, against all odds."
I like to draw the flowers of
the wayside. The tenacity of the flowers that pop up in the urban environment
is to be celebrated. I love the flowers
that come up amongst the litter and the debris of life around a station or a
bus stop. Suddenly something jewel like
catches your eye and you are cheered! Each flower has a use. They are food to us, the
bees, butterflies and insects, or have healing properties that have been used
for centuries.
Ecology and stewardship are important to me,
and since my research as an artist, I see that we do not exist in isolation,
but as part of a whole. Without plants we wouldn’t survive.
Enjoy the stories.
