Inspiration / how this work links to the exhibition  
Walking in local woodlands, I am aware that there is so much more below me than above, even in the largest and oldest of oaks. I was drawn to represent this unseen connection between the tree, its roots in the soil and the myriad of threads that spread out beneath my feet. Wouldn`t it be amazing to look into this world? In this 3D piece you can; remove the lid and reconnect to the world below.
