These paintings depict the changing light recorded in forests during the 2021 lockdown. Some seek to capture how the innate environment-sensing capacity of plants, trees and underground networks are witnesses of history. The paintings and their light hold an embodied memory of time, reminding us of how it and memory can shift.
