The Garden of Leaflessness
Dimensions
1600 x 600 x 1600 mm
Materials
Lace textile: dried eucalyptus leaves, metallic thread, acrylic coating; each leaf is connected to the next by machine and hand-stitching metallic thread
Artist statement
‘A Persian poet once said “The garden of leaflessness: who dares to say that it is not beautiful?” This work pays homage to the constantly changing poetic lace which surrounds us and exists within trees, leaves and branches. I am particularly interested in lace’s transient qualities; the way the fabric changes in different lights and the way it forms beautiful shadows that are constantly moving and transforming.’
