25_We are One

We Are One is a metaphor for nurturing our environment and the innate importance of biodiversity. The elements held within the hand’s palm are from and represent the myriad of forms within the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms. Acknowledging we are all part of the ONE system. The twined rope embroidered within the surface of the sculpture follows the lines of palmistry, an ancient form of divination. They thread all the fragments of nature together, reminding us that all elements within our natural world are inextricably connected and integral to one another. Made with 100% materials foraged from nature.

Penny Simons has worked as an artist and designer all her life, alongside the practise of gardening and working in and with nature.
