Leon Benn: Nurse Logs

In the forest, as a fallen tree decomposes it offers plentiful resources that sustain other life as its nutrients are returned and recycled back into the ecosystem. Through natural processes of generation and destruction balance is maintained in the forest, where the smallest organisms such as fungi, bacteria, and moss, play crucial roles. Envisioning himself as a "voyeuristic artist," Benn leans away from reproaching humanity's ill effect on natural settings, instead favoring an analytical approach in what he describes as, "framing an artificial humanity alongside the strange and mystical ecological stirrings of the forest world."
