Rebecca Chesney for Mapping Marton Wood

Rebecca has created a garment and a series of photographs in response to her explorations in Marton Wood. The garment has been hand screen printed on to lengths of organic cotton and is composed of two patterns - one representing the dense, overlapping canopy of  trees, the other highlighting tarcrust fungus on the trunk of a tree.  Her work is a celebration of age, seasons, and the natural lifecycles, death and decay. These portraits honour the knowledge and wisdom held by both the woman and the woodland.
