Connected, Unseen I draws on rhizomatic thinking to explore connection to place and the unseen systems that shape how we relate to our environments. It reflects on what is lost and what continues to grow, both within ourselves and in the landscapes we inhabit, grounded in a material-led practice and an interest in the liminal spaces where intuition begins to surface.

The second in the series, Connected, Unseen II moves beyond literal root forms, exploring rhizomatic connections that reveal the subtle, non-linear networks linking self and environment. The work considers how unseen systems persist and how growth continues along paths that are not immediately visible.

Returning to more root-like structures, the third work, Connected, Unseen III, examines the ongoing interplay between internal experience and external landscapes. The roots suggest patterns of continuity and renewal, revealing how growth and connection persist over time.

In Connected, Unseen IV, the roots feel their way across perceived terrain, exploring the liminal spaces where intuition and materiality meet. The work considers how unseen currents guide growth, and how subtle connections shape both self and place.

The fifth in the series, Connected, Unseen V, depicts roots that seep downward, seeking and tracing the invisible threads that sustain growth and connection. It reflects on the unseen persistence of life, within ourselves and the environments we inhabit.

Connected, Unseen VI sprawls in a more rhizome-like manner, mapping expansive, non-linear connections that extend beyond visible boundaries. The work reflects on how growth, memory, and intuition continue to unfold across both internal and environmental landscapes.

The final panel spreads and intertwines across the page, merging surface and substrate. Roots and marks move with both tension and flow, reflecting the layered, gritty complexity of growth and connection beneath what we see.
