Not a Plant

The oceans are not my only love, I have loved trees all my life and like so many others, I have become fascinated by the world of fungi so eloquently explored and described in 'Entangled Life' by Merlin Sheldrake. A big part of our sustainability work is around planting trees and re-establishing hedgerows where we live, so I was thrilled to be asked to create some special work of the upcoming exhibition at Upton Castle Gardens in Pembrokeshire.

The exhibition, titled Coeden: Amid the trees, seeks to explore the relationship between trees, forests and their role in human lives and imaginations past and present. I have made both indoor and outdoor sculptures for this based on repurposed and or re-melted waste glass, and repurposed stone and metal. All inspired by our connected lives.
