End of Ash depicts ash dieback, an epidemic that could see the death of up to 95% of the UK’s ash trees. This tragedy ravaging the countryside is taking place in the shadow of the global COVID-19 pandemic, so it is happening largely unnoticed. Perry’s work captures the downfall of a species facing mass extinction. The work highlights the significant ecological threat facing British tree species, which in itself is an important document. The work connects with a number of different artworks in Amgueddfa Cymru’s collection including David Nash’s Ash Dome, which is dying from the disease.
