Having moved to one of the few remaining areas of ancient deciduous forest in England, the woods enchanted me with its towering giant oak trees and busy wildlife. Some parts of the area date back over 8,000 years to the end of the last Ice Age. As if childhood tales became alive, there is almost tangible magic that lingers around the misty, moss-covered woodland. 'Be-Longing' was inspired by its visible and invisible cosmos. Its two halves have been created independently of each other, with two years difference. While working on the second half, the first one laid forgotten in a drawer until they have been both completed. Later, due to a coincidence, they have been placed next to each other, surprising me with their symmetry. Here they are now belonging to the same image.
