Vestige of Time is a substantial sculptural work measuring 72" x 55" x 8" that invites viewers to experience the quiet strength and resilience embodied by the natural world. Crafted from Merino wool and silk, the piece emulates the base of a tree, where rugged birch bark meets the soft, verdant embrace of moss. The upper section presents an intricate tapestry of light beige and white tones, punctuated by darker textures that suggest peeling bark and the passage of seasons. This tactile surface contrasts with the lower portion’s rich, layered greens, which evoke thick moss and dense foliage, grounding the composition with depth and vitality.
The sculpture’s irregular edges and organic form enhance its presence as a natural relic, one that feels both weathered and alive. Its scale and three-dimensionality invite not just visual engagement but a sense of physical immersion—like kneeling beside a tree stump in a quiet forest, sensing its endurance and the life it supports. Vestige of Time captures a moment of stillness that speaks to stability and the slow unfolding of time, offering a meditative encounter with the textures and moods of an ancient tree’s foundation.
