Time Spent Amongst Trees
7 September – 2 November 2019
A Society of Scottish Artists exhibition at The Meffan Gallery, Forfar
“We’re all—trees, humans, insects, birds, bacteria—pluralities. Life is embodied network. Because life is a network, there is no “nature” or “environment,” separate and apart from humans. We are part of the community of life, composed of relationships with “others,” so the human/nature duality that lives near the heart of many philosophies is, from a biological perspective, illusory.”
― David George Haskell, The Songs of Trees: Stories from Nature’s Great Connectors
Professional Artist Members of the Society were invited to submit proposals for new or existing works that engage creatively with the concept of ‘Time Spent Amongst Trees’.
