About This Piece

Please bear in mind that all prints are produced to order. Lead times are expected between 15-20 days. Pando Forest #2 is available in an Edition of 5 + 2 Artist Proofs. Laval's new body of work continues her ongoing exploration of light in nature. Combining the natural landscape with a radical manipulation of light, Laval creates an other-worldly scape that bridges the gap between our reality and one that could only ever be imagined. The Pando Forest is an incredible display of vegetation in Utah's Fishlake National Park in the United States. Comprised of over 40,000 individual trees, this forest is really one living organism. Connected by one enormous root system, the forest continues to exist by producing clones of itself in response to environmental stresses. Creating small, temporary interventions in the organic landscape, Laval takes natural and artificial light and observes the interaction in nature through reflective surfaces. Marine blues and plush magentas describe this living organism, while radiant aquamarines and fiery oranges mark the intensity of another reality. The cautious rustling of this ancient forest can just be heard in Laval's evocative and sensitive depiction of a living being. At times both recognisable and indecipherable, Laval's unique depiction of the Pando Forest allows time to stop, which allows the viewer to become immersed in another world. This body of work was featured in The New York Times Magazine's Voyages Issue of 2018.
