Philosopher and 20th Century thinker George Santayana, quoted “Repetition is the only form of permanence that Nature can achieve.” This assertion highlights the idea that despite the ever-changing and evolving nature of the world around us, certain patterns or cycles persist over time. These patterns recur with remarkable consistency, providing a sense of stability or permanence amidst the broader dynamics of change. Each day, our Sun rises in the east and sets in the west, marking the passage of time with unwavering consistency. The rhythmic repetition of day and night regulates our sleep patterns, influences the behaviour of animals and plants whilst governing the growth of our ever-precious forests.Handmade pinhole cameras, filled with natural materials such as leaves and petals, sit on solar powered turntables, rotating and using the light of the sun to draw circular compositions on photographic paper. These shapes build over time mirroring the cross section of tree trunks. Trees, our ancient witnesses to environmental change, record not only climate patterns in their rings but include scientific evidence of solar activity from our own sun. The time of year and time of day significantly impact each piece of work: the low winter sun offers less energy, whilst the high midday summer sun accelerates the process. This reliance on periodic rhythms means waiting for specific times of the year to make the work. There is an embracing of the natural cycle of the seasons in this series, but the act of creation can often be interrupted by inclement weather. With the impact of climate change connected to the blurring of our seasons, the output of the work can often be methodical and experimental.
