World War 100
The story of a tiny spruce tree being dug out of the carnage of no man's land and protected in an ammunition box sent to Crieff where it still stands today 100 years on. For my print, I further researched the battles of Passchendaele. Bullet shells are littered around the muddy puddles reflecting on the letter that Lt. McCabe sent to his father explaining that ‘owing to the amount of shell, rifle and machine gun fire… nothing is alive which is any taller than the tree I sent.’
The exhibition was first displayed at the Scottish Parliament but now travels accross Scotland to different locations to educate modern day Scots about the events and people of World War One.
