Apologies, this workshop was incorrectly advertised as 2024. It is definitely this year and in term 4. (Can't get good help these days!)

Probing the intersection of politics and ecology Nicola Moss' works highlight the importance of green spaces amid congested urban environments. Relying on an archive of papers coloured using paint, graphite, printmaking and various stains, Moss' materials travel with her as she explores the physical landscape. Impressions from tree bark frottage rubbings, for example, become collaged elements of her compositions. Framing nature as a source rather than a resource the artist highlights how intrinsic sustainable green spaces are to our well-being, both physical and mental.
