SEEDS, 2020
Life is full of precious fleeting moments. My work tries to celebrate and honour some of those moments, reflecting on the effects of Covid19 and climate change.
During 2020 I did a ‘Residency at Home’ with a group on Zoom and focused on my garden.
I looked at very small parts of plants, and then researched seeds. The range of shapes and sizes was amazing, so the work reflected this, while using a microscope to enlarge them.
My colours are predominantly transparent to emphasise the transience of the subjects. The seeds are layered in some prints, as they might be when randomly scattered in the ground. I have used lino, screen print, etching, stencil and monotype.
