Orchard

Solo show at Intercession Gallery, Northampton, 2018.

Orchard explored interactions with nature through print, sculpture and drawing via the quincunx, piles of stones, arrangements of sticks, mouldy geophytes and Woden’s hat of knowledge. It was partly about gardening & glyphs, salt & spices, abundance & apocalypse.
