Artist Dan Rawlings merges subject matter that would seem to be in direct contrast to its medium: trees cut into an old silo or ferns that sprout from rusty street signage. A collision of urban and rural. “I try to create images that remind people of the moments when everything seems possible and free,” says Rawlings, “times when climbing a tree, or sitting admiring the way its branches twist and curl means nothing, but means everything.”

One of his most ambitious pieces, titled Nature Delivers, depicts the shell of a forest cut into the walls of an old delivery truck that was commissioned by Kendal Calling and Walk the Plank for the Lost Eden festival. Unfortunately, somebody set fire to the work earlier this year. You can see more of Rawling’s work on Instagram and in his online gallery.
