The forest never sleeps 2024

The forest lies waiting, never sleeping, always alive with layers of life in all its forms. Sometimes gentle, sometimes violent, but always moving. Seeds are released, spread by birds and wind, laid to rest in the fertile floor, waiting for the celebration and devastation of fire. In all its contrasts of beauty and grief, this is home.
 
Emma Jennings paints from her studio gallery in Australia’s beautiful Dandenong Ranges rainforest. Emma uses layers of tone, pattern and botanical studies to investigate metaphysical and ecological connections in the natural world.
