After the Things of Nature examines processes of transformation and our relationship with the cosmos. Mixed media techniques involving painting on photographs are used to create a layering effect with strange textures and vibrant hues. Due to this visual modification, scenes of nature begin to transcend their original contexts, evoking a state of metamorphosis and evolutionary flux. The correspondence between colour, shape and form additionally makes reference to the symbiotic networks that permeate our planet’s flora and fauna.
