My installation and sculptural based practice explores how parts of the natural world become ‘monuments’ in our lives, and how memories can be re-experienced or abstracted through our re-encounter with such sites. This centres around trees, as something that encases a personal connection of memory and significance that is now removed and distant. Through mixed materials and the cyanotype process I explore my own proximity to the environment as well as how such natural landmarks hold shared memories in communities, and what happens when these are removed.
