Processions (2020)

Oak processionary caterpillars are clever invasive creatures, moving and crawling along oaks, weaving bags, stripping oaks, and leaving them on tiny threads, playing hide and seek in large numbers and as pioneering individuals. While each caterpillar is small, together these teeming tiny creatures in connected and expanding bulging pockets on trees have a monumental impact.

In this series of sculptures and paintings I explore the traces and movements of these animals, using waste materials. I wonder if the wood remembers the species that killed the tree.
