Marking Time is an exhibition of 425 photographs of painted marks on trees documented between 1992 and 2004 in Scotland, England, Germany, Belgium, Estonia, Lithuania, Spain, France , Denmark , Australia and New Zealand.
Mostly the marks signify medication, correction, protection, destruction or convenience, but trees increasingly carry social and territorial graffiti. The work draws attention to a largely unnoticed practice, and leads into the vital contemporary debate about our relationship with the natural world.
