Block, organic

This organic Earth Painting evolves from the original Block design, yet takes on a character entirely its own. Formed on a solid base of centuries-old English oak, reclaimed from a fallen tree in Windsor Forest, it carries the dignity of age and endurance. Its irregular shape softens its strength, symbolising continuity and renewal - the steady rhythm of holding, rebuilding, and belonging once more.

More than a number
The numbering of each Earth Painting continues from our first series - a deliberate choice reflecting the dehumanising processes many refugees endure, where individuals are often reduced to statistics rather than recognised for their unique stories and inherent humanity.

Displaying your Earth Painting
When deciding where to display your Earth Painting: seek the light. The natural pigments respond beautifully to shifting light conditions. Morning light offers a crisp, soft glow; evening light brings out the warmth and depth of the pigments. You may therefore notice that the Earth Painting appears in a different 'colour'. Take your time to find a place where you can observe the interplay of light and shadow on the Earth Painting - a place where its textures and colours don’t fall flat.
