cocoon

Exhibited: 3rd May 2024 - August 2024

Location: Chandran Gallery, USA

 

“The idea of being comforted by or ‘cocooned’ in nature has been one that has inspired my artworks ever since I was 13 years old. An experience of lying down in a field of ox-eye daisies triggered an emotional response that drove me into an active pursuit of nature for the rest of my life. I’ve wanted to recreate for the viewer what I felt that day and discover a physical experience that enables the whole body and mind to be at one with nature.”
