Old Arboretum combines green acrylic pours representing mixed undergrowth with collaged conkers, bark, pine cones and seed pods collected in Westonbirt in autumn 2021.
To create the pours, I mixed acrylic paint with pouring medium and water, layered different shades of green fluid acrylic paint in a cup, and poured them onto the surface, before gently moving them around the surface to create abstract patterns representing mixed undergrowth growing beneath trees. In the centre of each of these nine panels, there is a natural element, collected at Westonbirt arboretum in the autumn. The natural elements have have been dried and preserved in this collage, capturing them at a moment in time.
