Ode to Oak 2024

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I brought fallen branches into the studio that had lichen or other interesting patterns or growth on them (see Garden Constellate, Installations). I removed the leaf portions leaving them sorted in piles according to colours. During the last week I strung them together, making a 2.5 m column that I suspended from a leftover length of fishing line. After scouting the fields of the estate, a few days before leaving I brought it outside, hanging it from a large oak tree near the living pods. It gently touched the ground so as not to be completely blown away resulting in a gentle dance between solid tree and land.
