Laura Donkers’ exhibition of sound and printed works interweaves human-nature field recordings to critique historical genealogies and dense connotative webs contained in tender 18th century English song lyrics. The works signify the silencing/dismantling of nature’s platform to accentuate the ecosocial and transgenerational impacts of deforestation: the act of re-placing native forests with new colonies of European settlers from the 1900s onwards.
