A look at bark
This autumn, the emphasis will be on tree bark at Aywiers Abbey. The aspect of this protective layer can vary widely according to age and species. Fine, smooth bark indicates a young tree and becomes thicker and rougher with the passage of time. Like that of a human being, a tree’s skin tells us a great deal about the tree itself and its life events. Some barks are stunningly beautiful, with decorative textures, patterns or colours, and often achieve their full beauty with time. Others look better on saplings. First you see it. Than you can’t resist touching, having it at your fingertips. Maybe you just need to feel the tree’s texture, or maybe you secretly hope to capture some of its strength.
