Burnt scribbles were transformed into hand-sewn sound-wave letters to nature. The artist is processing the emotional impact of climate change through this series of works.
During her ten days of silence she wrote and wrote. Pondering on existence and considering that which is beyond the self, climate change was on her mind. The letters were love letters; to earth, to the wilderness, to the sky and the ocean.
The loss, the hopes and the dreams, all released, all let go in the process of writing and burning letters. Baker used software to translate the spoken word of each letter into sound waves, once photographed, she burned them and hand sewed unique threads to immortalise the energy of each letter. Baker's work explores the fragility of life and new beginnings born from chaos and destruction. The letters weren't meant to be sent. The energy of the writing was enough to express and let go. To let the ripples of the thoughts be free.
