Ellie has been working in the forests of the UK for the past seven years, producing work which explores the complex interrelationship between the landscape and the individual.

Come With Me draws on the spontaneous aspect of human nature; winding a path through the forest, Davies lays out powder, wool, paint, or paper to imitate the curve of the land, sweep of the eye, path of an animal.

By introducing artificial materials to the natural forest landscape, Davies wants to emphasise the constructed nature of the landscape itself, with a particular reference to the long tradition of landscape painting and its role in the creation of myth-making. The colour, shape, and material of each unique pathway mirror the surrounding landscape and delicately trace a temporary trajectory through the natural space, allowing Davies to locate herself within the landscape and develop a richer personal interaction with the woodland.

These small interactions transform the natural forest into an object and photographic image that allows us to question the stability of "nature" as a concept.
