Cosmic Fabric #5 , 2022

Mixed media on canvas, .

This work (10 pieces) is an exploratorium, an attempt to keep leaves – and failing that, their memory – alive by any means. Naturally,
this being a Quixotean endeavour, any attempt is doomed; each loss revealing who we are. Each piece employs a
different technique suggested by colleagues, friends, family and passers-by, including wax, paper-maché, ceramics,
monotype, nail polish, wood glue, collage and others. You are welcome to suggest any new ways I could preserve a leaf

The work is part of an on-going series entitled “Air” that I began during the Covid pandemic in 2021, in response to the
growing realisation of our collective and critical dependence on air for oxygen, freedom, life. In my current artistic practice
I focus on the thematic of « Air » and explore the centrality of nature to the human essence, as a reversal of the
paradigm of human superiority over the living environment.
