out of nowhere

is a meditation on mountain trees, rocks and grasses, their long history, their strength and their

ability to connect us (or, at least, me) to something primordial, stable, reassuring and mysterious,

which is accessible only through the manifestations which wecan see today. By extracting these

objects our of their context, I emphasise their powerwhen contemplated in isolation, and explore the

boundarybetween the visible and thenon-visible, and between seeing and imagining. The “shadows”

which complement each object are alter egos, infinite potentialities of which the tree or rock that we

see today are plausible actualizations, and evocations of a world that calls to us from our

subconscious.
