Collection: Sharon Field | Quiet Witnesses

Leaves with their seasonal rhythms and subtle anatomical variations reflect the shifting cycles of climate change - earlier springs, extended droughts, and altered carbon dynamics looking into their structure. 

Lichens, sensitive indicators of air quality and ecosystem health, stand as living barometers of pollution, their presence or absence quietly mapping the human footprint on the atmosphere. 

Insects, meticulously rendered, become symbols of both astonishing biodiversity and acute vulnerability.  The recent population declines driven by habitat loss, pesticide use and climate disruption are rendered visible here with the intimacy and precision of scientific observation. 

Together these works serve as a visual archive of ecological memory and loss.  Through close attention to detail, they resist the abstraction of data and instead offer a deeply felt human scale connection to environmental change.  They are not just studies of natural forms - they are acts of bearing witness.  Quiet Witnesses asks - In a world that is rapidly changing, what can we still see and what might we already be losing sight of?
