Recovery

Vania was inspired by the healing of nature. The Kidsgrove canal and Harecastle tunnel lost its original industrial purpose. as time passed the plants nourished the canal and regained its former vitality. The baby depicted in the artwork is a vessel that also heals the canal, welcoming the visitor as they walk through the canal, embodying this sense of healing through plants, using acrylic to combine the canal folk art to accentuate the canals natural features.
