Eve Da Silva, ‘Standing Tall’
This body of work explores the unchanging beauty and resilience of trees; whatever is going on in the world trees stand tall. A metaphor for the Human spirit. Like trees we stand firm in solidarity with one another; coming together as a collective when the going gets tough. We must bend with wind and adapt to times and situations that are difficult and sad, but are not insurmountable. I have used drawing, mono printing and screen printing to develop patterns for interior spaces and accessories. I would like my work to attract a broad audience and to stand as a celebration of the majestic tree in 2020, the year of the Tree.
