Native British Trees (2016-22)
This was an experimental, diverse series of works in a variety of mediums, attributed to the title ‘Native British Trees’ between (roughly) 2016 and 2022. These works are now archived here.
“Like nervous laughter or cuteness aggression, his screaming pinks are unsettling. They’re hard to place amongst knowing whimsy and absolute brutality. A few steps back from representation, their style is porous between languages of beauty and abjection, tradition and currency. “
In 2018, I invited the amazing Belfast-based independent
curator and writer Jane Morrow to write an introductory essay
about ‘Native British Trees’, rounding off the first developmental
stage of this series and rounding off a period of ACE project funding.
