Past Exhibitions in the Studio Gallery
The Essence of Trees by Gustavo Espinosa
7 September – 12 October
The essence of trees is wood; heartwood, sapwood and bark… These images are made from photographs of a wide variety of trees: growing trees, dying trees, trees cut down or fallen, rotting wood returning to the earth. The photographs were made on walks in the countryside, in ancient forests and once-landscaped parks.
