A classic sous-bois composition this work conceptualises the forest floor in a deliberately expressionist treatment. It emphasizes both the hummocky growth of the sub-shrubs (Calluna, the Ericas, and Vaccinium spp.) and the uneven nature of the substrate reflecting the glacial or fluvioglacial origin of the deposits and disturbance by windthrow and timber extraction.
