“Green Ritual” is an exploration of the darker aspects of local folklore, delving into the UK’s rich and storied history. The works examine the unsettling amalgamation of ruralism and isolation, where the boundaries between man and nature become increasingly blurred. The eerie is particularly prevalent in my long-term practice, which often seeks to illuminate the uncanny and unsettling aspects of our relationship with the natural world. “Green Ritual” aims to demonstrate the darker, more primal aspects of human nature, revealing the ways in which our connection to the land and our fellow beings can be not only a source of comfort but a catalyst for fear.
