Sixteen sheets of heavy card were placed outdoors over ash-covered oak leaves and weighted down. The intention was simple — to observe how time, pressure and organic residue might mark the surface.
After several months, the weights were removed. The ash itself left only faint traces; instead, it was the microbiome activity beneath — the slow breakdown of organic matter — that patterned the paper. Subtle stains and imprints emerged through natural process rather than direct intervention.
The sheets were then hung outside to dry. A storm intervened, breaking and scattering the works across the ground. What remained were fragments — disrupted, dispersed and altered — echoing earlier explorations of fragmentation, not through cutting but through weather and chance.
