Under Foot Revisited

Under Foot Revisited - Mary Barron

The beauty in the often less appreciated and unnoticed natural wonders beneath our feet are the source of inspiration for this body of work. Under Foot Revisited seeks to draw attention to the intricacies of natural debris. The colour, shape and textural qualities of leaves in their dying stages, fallen bark and twigs of this environment are complex and intriguing. These elements are often either un-noticed or considered green rubbish. Artist Mary Elizabeth Barron re-contextualises these elements using these natural materials and drawing inspiration from their presentation.
