FALLEN Wells 22 Triptych 2 Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

A tree crashes down in a storm. Foresters come with saws to slice the tree into manageable sections. In doing so they reveal evidence of the tree's century long life. No doubt, there are people who can interpret these marks and patches of colour and texture, as if they were translating a language - discovering a biography. This aroboreal language is crosshatched with manmade marks. Few trees in modern times can escape human intervention. Untouched wildness is a thing of the past. Now we must learn the consequences of our actions. Thomas Berry, the cultural historian and philosopher of nature, wrote this inspirational text: "We are in trouble because we do not have a good story. We are between stories. The old story ... is no longer effective. Yet we have not learned "the new story". We are talking only to ourselves. We are not talking to the rivers, we are not listening to the wind and stars. We have broken the great conversation. By breaking that conversation we have shattered the universe. All the disasters that are happening now are a consequence of that spiritual 'autism'. "The universe story is the quintessence of reality. We perceive the story. We put it in our language, the birds put it in theirs, and the trees put it in theirs. We can read the story of the universe in the trees. Everything tells the story of the universe. The winds tell the story, literally, not just imaginatively. The story has its imprint everywhere, and that is why it is so important to know the story. If you do not know the story, in a sense you do not know yourself; you do not know anything."
