In|Organic - This piece has been over a year and a half in the making, and I’m extremely proud to now have it on display as part of the Ash Rise Exhibition now on at the Edinburgh Royal Botanical Gardens .
The piece is inspired by paradoxical relationship that humans have with nature. Very rarely do we find beauty in the wilderness and chaos of untamed nature, instead we tend to seek to control nature. Think of almost every ‘nice’ garden you’ve ever seen - neatly mown grass, carefully trimmed hedges & shrubs, well defined borders. In|Organic reflects this - a flowing organic vine growing across the door fronts, cruelly segmented and framed in a cabinet of harsh right angles.
I want to thank for trusting me to bring this piece to life. I also want to say how humbled I am by every maker & artists contribution to Ash Rise, I feel honoured to be among you.
Ash Rise is a celebration of the Ash Tree, a tree that is at huge risk due to a fungal disease. The exhibition is presented by & supported by and . It will be on show at the Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens until January, go check it out.
