Shadows

Referencing back to previous work and how images and themes recur I am drawn at the moment back to sillouettes of trees and tree canopies . Whilst collecting images for my work on Chorlton EES this year I also collected photos of the shadows cast on treetrunks , previously at the National Wildflower Centre photos of shadows from plants growing in crevices on the rooftop walk . Image far left shows "Passionflower " flags usually displayed in an installation restricted to glass cases but casting interesting shadows . I had thought at the time that this reflected the demise of the destruction of the rain forest that ultimately al that would be left is the shadow or memory of the plants once abundant . Recurring theme developing in my work is endangered species and the impact of human activity on the natural world alongside raising the awareness of how dependent we are upon nature.
