Treen - an exhibition at Kaleidoscope Art Gallery, Sevenoaks in 2025:

A quiet reminder that these museum items once lived
They were a home, a dining room, a place to raise young
They breathed
They filtered
They sheltered
There is care shown in their making, respect for the materials.

[Drawings of Wood Wasps (probably the male sabre wasp Rhyssa persuasoria) inadvertently brought into the building inside wooden display plinths where the unseasonable warmth of the gallery encouraged them to emerge.
Drawings on paper now encased in wooden frames, a basic substrate polished and embellished with gold to elevate their status.]
