'Through an intense process of connecting with, observing and drawing old trees, my work asks not just what they look like, but also what looking at trees can tell us about ourselves.'
Tansy Lee Moir is an artist and educator based in Edinburgh.
Her drawings reveal the forms and stories of our old trees, exploring the way that humans, animals and natural processes have shaped them over centuries, Her art encourages us to look at trees in new ways and to think about our ancient, layered relationships with them as living organisms.
For her, trees are sculpted more-than-human experience, created in dialogue with their environment: old trees are time made wood.
