Fern Fingers
2025
Photography series and poem

Exploring Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens in Cornwall I found myself in a valley of lush green tree ferns. This photo series emerged as I interacted with the ferns around me, yearning to get closer, to intertwine with their moist and ancient knowledge.

Fern Fingers

Fingering fronds
Intimate pre-histories
Curl together
Release, unfurl
Your breath is mine
Softly, softly
A verdant splay
An open palm
