For the past several years, Tarling has been working has been working on a series of paintings and monotypes that reflect her interest in natural sciences, transformation, passages and regrowth. Using oil, ink, solvent transfers and drawing on plaster and wood, her surfaces suggest ethereal landscapes of trees, leaves and rock.

Black marks are heavily weighted and charcoal and graphite are sanded and scratched with reference to process, struggle, and hope.
