Small Whispers Series

This twelve edition series represents the often overlooked biological connections that weave throughout all aspects of life. In particular, the underworlds rooted within the land and beneath our feet bring forward a portal of light and energy that I find both fascinating and magical.

Recent scientific theories describe the evolutionary attributes of trees and how they have learned to perceive one another through communication systems previously ascribed to human intelligence. A big part of these methodologies involve mycorrhizal networks of fungi on the root systems underground.

The imagery in this series is layered with colour and line to capture a network that is teeming with life. I drew upon my own observations of fungal activity above ground and thus, the work presents a visual exploration of imagined concepts related to soil life. 

Life’s beauty arises from symbiotic relationships and interdependence between all living things. Because life is a network there cannot be a separation between humans and the natural landscapes. My intention is to draw awareness that the boundaries we construct are simply illusionary.
