'A drawing of a tree shows not a tree but a tree being looked at' - John Berger

These works are not about me but I am their transcriber and so we are inextricable. I am the gaze that beholds them.
I no longer wish to say 'I was here' but rather 'I was here to bear witness' 
A quiet devotion and gentle testament to an earth in decline.

 

Neva Hosking’s solo exhibition Behind the wheel, in front of the storm, offers a glimpse into a world of quiet persistence, capturing the abundant but tenacious forms of nature. Working with vintage paper, Hosking captures the cycle of life and decay, the intense abundance against the edges of mortality. The tangible impressions left on Neva’s observations allow them to become part of this endless recurrence, bearing witness to the world’s processes, rather than dominating it.

 

Reframing beauty, not as fleeting, but as something that returns, transforms, and endures, Neva Hosking and her world of moths and lush overgrowth are submerged in a tranquil yet charged relationship between nature and time.
