Rún: A Whisper from Nature
In a world that moves fast, we often overlook the quiet beauty that surrounds us. Yet, when we pause to observe, nature reveals its secrets—woven into the earth, trees, and sky. My Rún series is a tribute to these hidden wonders, inspired by locally foraged botanicals and natural materials that often go unnoticed. Through delicate monotype prints, I invite you into a space of quiet reflection, where the subtle whispers of the natural world come to life.
Rún 1: The Beginning
The first piece in the Rún series sets the tone for this exploration. Derived from Old Norse, the word rún means "secret"—a fitting title for a work that unveils the invisible threads connecting us to nature. Intricate textures and delicate details evoke a sense of discovery, as though uncovering a hidden treasure. Soft and contemplative, this piece invites a deeper connection with the world around us.
Rún 2: A Deeper Connection
Building upon its predecessor, Rún 2 delves further into nature’s quiet messages. Textures inspired by the softness of a feather encourage a moment of pause and reflection. In its details, the unseen beauty of the natural world slowly unfolds.
Rún 3: The Subtle Art of Seeing
Rún 3 invites contemplation, its textures revealing the quiet complexity of the details often overlooked. A foraged botanical forms the foundation of the piece, yet its intricate patterns suggest something beyond the physical—a reminder that nature’s wisdom often lies in the unnoticed and unseen.
Rún IV: The Final Revelation
Completing the series, Rún IV brings this exploration full circle. A seed head, delicate yet powerful, serves as a meditation on cycles—decay leading into renewal, endings giving way to new beginnings. It urges us to slow down, to see beyond the obvious, and to recognize the quiet forces shaping our world.
An Invitation to Pause
The Rún series is a meditation on nature’s hidden language, a journey through the unseen and the overlooked. By working with foraged botanicals and natural materials, I aim to highlight the quiet beauty that surrounds us. Each print is an invitation to step out of the rush of daily life, to observe more closely, and to find meaning in the small, secretive whispers of the earth.
