What is a forest? Is it the trees or is it the space that exists between them? These images explore the nature and meaning of ‘Forest’ by considering the physical experience of standing alone inside the woods; the eerie and captivating sensation that time has slowed down and that the forest and everything within it exists in a different state. Somehow set apart from our usual perception of linear time the wind drops, the air cools, all is quiet and still and the forest draws in. To enter this other place is to accept a slowing of time and a shift in perception. Suspended and still, the smoke fills the spaces between the trees, and reflecting this physical experience: the palpable and brooding cognisance of the forest, the muffled and flattened sound, the prickling sense of heightened awareness. The mist fills the gaps to show the spaces between, as if we can slip through and escape time itself.
