Here, built structures encroach on natural environments but equally those structures are abandoned, no longer required, the woods reclaim what was taken, creeping dorsum in addition to re-establishing territory.The degree of especial in addition to large scale of these drawings invites viewers to movement into the infinite depicted in addition to pass fourth dimension exploring it. Concurrently, equally the drawings are approached, the ikon dissolves in addition to the materiality in addition to procedure are established; the artifice of the ikon construction is revealed equally a slice of newspaper amongst handmade marks, pinned to the gallery wall. Drawing in addition to erasing amongst charcoal reflects the transient shifting nature of the human relationship betwixt people in addition to the surrounding living environment.
