Treacher
What remains when a tree leaves its ground
About the work
A tree pulled from its ground still carries the voice of where it came from. Treacher works with found objects and natural materials to sit with displacement: of trees, of languages, of the feeling of a place. The work holds what survives after removal, the root structure and the soil memory of something that was here.
Why this work
Displacement is not just a political event. It happens to trees, to languages, to the feeling of a place. Treacher sits with what remains after removal, the root structure, the soil memory, the ghost of something that was here.
