Cellular Seasons

Water and its traces course through the art of Liz Ward. Water’s fluidity recurs
throughout the content and form of her work. Water’s presence marks the series of silverpoint drawings Tree Cell Studies (2004) and Cellular Seasons (2005). Each drawing freely recalls the complex cellular structures found within trees and other plants. As their stomata respond to the variable presence of water in the environment, plants mark the changing seasons at cellular levels.
