Interpretations on self-realization
DESCRIPTION
Oil painting on G.F Smith paper, Indian hemp paper and found paper | 2018
A further development of the artist’s musings on ecological and environmental philosophies, Deep Ecology explores the inherent worth of non-human organisms. The series is an artistic exploration of the natural world and the delicate harmony of homeostasis that exists within the biosphere. Found paper, washi papers sourced in Japan and oil paints are used to create a subtle patchwork, reminiscent of the artist’s sculptural works and textile installations, concealing ecological messages rendered in soft materials.

“Contemporary cultures are often extremely fast and ever-changing. My practice engages with slower tasks which demand commitment and help us to focus our attention. In my paintings, I depict activities such as growing plants and preparing and sharing tea, which also are parts of my daily life.”
