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 we

can see today. By extracting these objects our of their context, I emphasise their power

when contemplated in isolation, and explore the boundarybetween the visible and the

non-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.
