Walk the Seasons

The exhibition focused upon our seasonal relationship with leaves and trees. It was about the space they occupy as much as the physical work. Prior to studying art I worked as a garden designer and I wanted to make work to go in a garden space, having spent time focusing on the artwork I wanted to re-engage with the space it occupies. Throughout the exhibition I used metal in various forms; mild steel, wire, metal fabric and metal thread. I also displayed photographic images of trees and leaves during the seasons.
