Emma Davies

A series of skeletal large leaves, handmade and sculpted to echo the local native vegetation, are suspended vertically and contour the ceiling of the thoroughfare.
 
This placement and the seemingly ephemeral presentation of each skeletal leaf provide a point of engagement and invite people to look up, ponder and wonder at the beauty and fragility of nature and perhaps consider how easy it is to take for granted.
 
Tracing Nature fuses nature with the built environment, softening the space and complementing the striking architecture. The skeletal forms allow the light to flow in and through the installation, creating shadows that reflect the forest floor of the local reserves.
