Abstract
This work, comprising a series of drawings and pochoir prints which come together in a limited edition artist’s book, is inspired by Virginia Woolf’s novel Orlando, a biography. Spanning over 700 years 'The Oak Tree: a tribute to eternity' weaves historical and contemporary fact with fiction and marks the pivotal point at which we now find ourselves in the face of climate change and declining biodiversity. It follows Woolf’s groundbreaking novel in drawing attention to the very moment of the present, while urging us to look to the future.
Taking the form of an imagined visual edition of the manuscript the eponymous character writes throughout the novel the artist’s book is accompanied by an introduction and notes written in collaboration with Professor Bryony Randall.
