TANSY LEE MOIR: Ghosts

1 June - 5 July 2024
Overview

Tansy Lee Moir exists in the upper branches of tree obsessives, an ever-spreading canopy of arboreal-loving people, and charcoal (itself the remains of a tree) is her main tool for understanding time-travelling treedom. Her fascinations are many - tales of human and natural ecosystems and how it is often the individual tree that bears witness. Her latest body of work, Ghosts, concentrates on the human-arboreal relationship, how light shows the scarred surfaces of its body and how layered marks and shifts of tone can reveal corporeal forms, figures that emerge from charcoal’s velvety blackness.
