Forest Memory brings together a selection of recent paintings, drawings and monotypes by Tamsin Relly, which bear witness to some of the world’s rapidly changing arbor and botanical environments. The work considers the preservation of these ecosystems through conservation, remote green houses, and memory – personal, collective or held within the land.
Drawing from both found media imagery and first-hand observations, Relly works with the fluid and unpredictable qualities of her materials and processes to present impressions of these natural and urban spaces in states of uncertainty or impermanence. Research includes visiting and studying diverse locations such as Boreal Forests in Hämeenkyrö, Finland, The Eden Project in Cornwall, and the fabricated oasis of the Las Vegas Strip.
