Artist Statement: Deborah Faeyrglenn

These small works continue my interest in forests and in particular the impact of catastrophic bushfires and how trees survive. Stitching, drawing, and found materials are ongoing elements in my arts practice. In these works, I have rescued discarded tableware, cut away damaged/stained areas, stitched a network of underground tree roots and drawn the burnt forests. The mirrored background and tableware are metaphors for human inter-connection with forests.
