Reflections after Art and Energy ix (2026)

£40.00

A unique A6 ink artwork made with foraged oak gall ink from Heavitree Park, combined with fluorescent pencil and layered on watercolour paper.

Reflections after Art and Energy

This series gathers a set of small works made in a period of pause and reorientation, a time of looking back at what was been made during my work with Art and Energy, and asking what shall I carry forward.

This A6 piece is created using oak gall ink gathered from Heavitree Park in Exeter, alongside Kaweko ink and fluorescent pencil on watercolour paper. The materials themselves hold a sense of place and process: oak galls transformed through slow alchemy into ink, gestures shaped partly by hand and partly by the natural behaviour of liquid on paper.

The works draw on symmetry, repetition and organic patterning, often suggesting moth-like forms, creatures that move through darkness with an instinctive intelligence. Here, they become a quiet motif for transformation, uncertainty, and the search for orientation.

These are not fixed images so much as reflections, moments where something is emerging, dissolving, or being reconfigured. Each one is unique. Together, they form a small constellation of thoughts about energy, ecology, and change.

A whisper of moths.
A question about what remains.
A gentle mapping of what might come next.
