Float

Float is an Earth Painting set in a hand carved wooden floating frame, crafted from reclaimed red cedar wood. The frame symbolises the stability and protection women restore to their families after displacement —almost like arms wrapping around their ‘tribe’ — offering order in chaos, and a sense of safety and belonging away from home.

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.
