Burnt scribbles were transformed into hand-sewn sound-wave letters to nature. During her ten days of silence, Lauren wrote and wrote, pondering on existence and considering that which is beyond the self. The letters were love letters; to her ex lover, to future lovers, to earth, to the wilderness, to the sky and the ocean. The loss, the hopes and the dreams, all released, all let go in the process of writing and burning letters. Baker used software to translate the spoken word of each letter into sound waves; once photographed, she burned them and hand sewed unique threads to immortalise the energy of each letter. In Letter To The Fire, that ritual of burning and release becomes the subject itself. Soft mohair yarn is hand-stitched across natural linen in the wave-form of the letter's spoken energy, its threads tumbling loose beyond the frame like sparks and smoke: the moment the paper curls and the words lift into heat. The letters weren't meant to be sent. The energy of the writing was enough to express and let go, to let the ripples of the thoughts be free. Baker's work explores the fragility of life and new beginnings born from chaos and destruction. At intimate scale, Letter To The Fire is a piece to live with slowly: a quiet, tactile work that rewards a close look, and carries a story you'll want to retell.
