Rewilding Imagination is is not at the scale of the extraordinary 20-year environmental rewilding restoration endeavour of Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell in West Sussex, UK. They transformed 3,500 acres of barren farmland into a thriving wilderness. Rewilding Imagination more like what people do when they rewild their gardens. We understand that we need both domestic and wild elements in our lives and in doing so, look for ways to allow both to thrive.

As Isabelle Tree herself, “Rewilding – giving nature the space and opportunity to express itself – is largely a leap of faith.” I have the faith that by visually integrating dailiness and wildness as well as the interruptive elements of pure abstraction, I can help a viewer see domestic beauty in harmonious relationship to both natural and human-made beauty. We do not need to accept a society’s view that these elements must be in conflict.
