Drawn to Trees: Tree Zodiac exhibition
A new outdoor exhibition of thirteen etchings by Luke Adam Hawker rooted in an ancient Celtic Tree Zodiac.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Discover a stunning new outdoor exhibition by artist Luke Adam Hawker.
Inspired by an ancient Celtic zodiac rooted in the thirteen lunar months, each associated with a different tree or plant, Luke Adam Hawker has created a series of thirteen intricate etchings that explore personality traits drawn from the character and symbolism of each species.
Etching is an ancient, meditative process, built slowly through delicate marks scratched into copper plates. This slow, reflective method mirrors the exhibition’s purpose: to encourage a quieter way of looking, a moment to pause, and an opportunity to consider your own relationship with the natural world.
Whether you find yourself reflected in your tree sign or simply enjoy the artistry and stories behind each work, the Tree Zodiac aims to spark curiosity, conversation and personal reflection. It reminds us that sometimes the wisdom we seek isn’t written in the stars at all—but growing quietly all around us.
