“A Quiet Spot” is from a series of works exploring the symbiotic relationships between the trees, soil and fungi and of the mother tree protecting the small and unseen. This piece is an imagined view from this world beneath our feet. Using oil pastels, the image emerges though the layering of gestural marks and scraping back through the surface, creating an image imbued with the shapes, movement and atmosphere observed and absorbed on daily walks through woodland.
