Artists Proof
Fossil Tree was born from an absence—an empty bench encircling a tree that no longer stands, a ghostly vision of a future where nature exists only as relics. Cast from an oak uprooted by the violent storms of early 2021, the work embodies nature’s growing fragility, preserved in artificial permanence with aluminium and fibreglass. If we continue severing our ancient connections to trees, they will become myth, and their absence will be the most haunting presence of all.
This artwork was exhibited in Entangled, a group exhibition at Saatchi Gallery, London, which ran from 29 March to 11 May 2025. You can still explore the show, including installation images and information about the participating artists and artworks, via our Online Viewing Room here.
