We are losing our conception of a rainforest landscape. 'Takayna Clearing Rorschach' performs a double act of delusion. At face value it presents a rainforest, laced with ferns, fungi and mosses; a wilderness of extraordinary beauty. The mirrowing in the image echoes a darker story of old growth logging and mining, suggested by the central form. In the clearing mist, saplings stand in sentience, witnesses to the ravages of time. Ghosts maybe, of a time that is now?
“At moments of great enthusiasm it seems to me that no one in the world has ever made something this beautiful and important.”
