Eleanor's sculptures stand resolutely like columns in ancient ruins, speaking of persistence and longevity. Their graceful stance returns our minds to the original tree that stood as a silent sentinel and bore witness to the passing epochs around it. The surface qualities of the works gesture towards hidden terrains, eroded and undulating passageways that reflect on ancient cultures and archaeological relics- fragments of time past. The fleshy, granular surfaces and exposed nodules of anarchic burr engage us in the complexities and resilience of nature, while also visualising its fragility in the face of human consumption.
