Absher’s work, ‘Territory’ (2019-2022) depicts a protector and keeper of her woodland home. Surrounded by mythological symbolism and rooted in historical compositions, the modern-clad creature of nature brings to mind contemporary climate activists, warning viewers below with her protective gaze. The symbolism of the moon references natural and elemental, as well as wild and uncontrollable forces.

Updated in 2022, with new understanding of the climate emergency facing us all, Absher has morphed the figure from a wounded woman, to a woman in the process of healing a few years into the future, demonstrating hopes for a healed earth. The Nymph depicted is an ephemeral energy that exists outside of time and nature, constantly shape shifting: a permanent stage of metamorphosis.
