ABOUT
Patience is a collection of experimental works on paper that recompose the motif of the natural history specimen into something intimate, enigmatic and a little bit mystical.
Botanical art traditionally aims to convey scientific truths about the natural world. Patience instead invites the viewer to turn that enquiry inward, and to contemplate what the observation of nature and natural rhythms have to teach us about ourselves, our secret truths and our impermanence. Depicting natural cycles of genesis and death, the images of this series are a meditation on our place in the universe. They are a quiet invocation to be patient with life’s unfolding, and to be present while it does.
Patience is also about the creative act itself. It functions as a visual metaphor for artistic cycles of creation and destruction, the role of repetition in art-making, and the value of patience for all artistic development and practice.
