This Way Finder Art was created while Artist in Residence at Domaine de Boisbuchet, France. This work was a series of ink on paper using materials from the forest as ‘paint brushes’, woven cotton nests and ‘spirit wings’ using rattan waste from a cane furniture factory in France, with layers of charcoal and ash of burnt wood from fallen trees in Domaine de Boisbuchet. The copper wire is an interpretation of the ancient basketry technique of looping. I spent a lot of time in the forest in observation and decided to create a path that lead to a space where I used woven nests with Peter Osborn’s ceramics to create a sense of place within the forest.
