The Heart of the Forest

"You know what this reminds me of?" Mark asked, peering closely at the picture on the wall. "Crowley's Tarot."
The photos in the new exhibition at the Globe are mainly of trees, but mirror image trees with all sorts of interesting little details made by the branches and flowers and ivy. They're by Suzy Davies, and she claims that a lot of the detail is just serendipity - she doesn't plan anything, and she doesn't mess around with the pictures to put extra details in - but every time you look at them, you can see something more.
While we were looking at the artwork, Ben was playing keyboards on the little stage, with all sorts of interesting samples, including the shipping forecast and sheep noises!
10% of the sale proceeds goes towards the Woodland Trust - square pictures are £40 and rectangular ones £45 (she wanted to keep it simple), and they're well worth seeing!
She has a website at www.sylviadaisypouncer.co.uk, but when I went to look for it, all I could find was the wonderful villianess/governess from The Box of Delights!
