Traces

An on-going series of drawings inspired by the Tibetan concept of ‘shul’, as described by Rebecca Solnit: ‘the impression of something that used to be there’. Medium is central to meaning and the work explores ideas of memory and story held within the physical and visual traces individuals of interdependent species leave behind.
