This exhibition brings together three artists working with the vegetal world as subject, refuge, and inspiration, exploring distinct ways of thinking and relating to both human and non-human beings. Employing landscape imagery, plant life, trees, and a feeling for spiritual phenomena, the artists of Phytophilia present a vision of a sentient, animate vegetal world, flourishing, communicating, nourishing, and thriving in a post-human existence. Ultimately, their work reveals the deep vulnerability brought to the surface through human interactions with nature.

Lawre Stone makes paintings and works on paper that bring together imagery from nature and the language of abstraction in otherworldly landscapes focused on environmental issues. Janis Stemmermann is a visual artist and designer whose interdisciplinary practice spans sculpture, installation, ceramics, textiles, and printmaking. Her work draws on the decorative language of domestic objects and the landscape, exploring the blurred lines between art and function through process-driven, craft-based methods. Katharine Dufault is a British-born artist and curator working in painting and works on paper. Her work draws on landscape, experience and memory, informed by the landscapes of England and the Berkshires, and is shaped by a personal gestural language.​
