Inspired by the natural environment, Tanya Poole presents a delicate study of tangled foliage and a web of branches that appears monochromatic, but on closer inspection reveals gradations of charcoal, grey and blue. Poole exploits the inherent qualities of ink and water in a process which is notoriously hard to control. The resulting shape-shifting work hovers between representation and abstraction, Poole’s leaves occasionally morphing into opalescent cells that embody the very essence of all living things.
