Vestiges

By Ann Goddard 2008

Materials: tree bark, neoprene cord, copper wire

Technique: Assembled constructions

30 small wall based units. Part of a body of work exploring the impact of human activity on nature. Much of the bark comes from an ancient yew tree that was felled because it had been inadvertently killed by a housing development. The piece makes reference to the vulnerability of wildlife habitats and the fragmentation of ecosystems.
