Embrace brings together my new sculptures and wall works exploring material metaphors of interconnection, change and continuance. Playfully combining weathered palings and gnarled plywood with recycled textile felt, fungi, paint, beeswax and bark; these works conjure sensuous co-creative narratives of growth and decay. My practice of being attentive to tactile details involves teasing out and entwining mycelium-like felt threads, growing mushrooms and tracing tree rings in old plywood. These processes focus on the immediate connectivity of touch, which then expands further to embrace ecological interdependencies.
