Trees leave their shadows

Trees leave their shadows is the first series of drawings and paintings on paper created during my residency at Azan Space in Sintra, Portugal. This series brings together the observational works of the trees, wild plants and disused farmland within the old farm surrounding Azan Space. They draw attention to the plants and their interaction with the manmade landscape - how tree shadows envelop walls, how weeds and wild plants take over untended fields, how a tree's silhouette adds majesty and mystery to the horizon.
