About

Trees bear witness to our climate, harbour stories of past times, and weather storms year after year. Coastal trees become sculpted by constant battering of onshore wind. Forested trees, where more protected, can grow impossibly tall towards the light. This exhibition is inspired by trees from the north Cornish coast, to the outback of Australia, to the Western Ghats of Southern India. Kerry Harding (b.1972) and Chitra Merchant (b.1971) are artists concerned with the inherent mystery of place, and have a deep interest in and connection with the importance of protecting it.
