Chapters is a compelling installation artwork by Bronwyn Davies, conceived as a reflective homage to Marie Byles – the trailblazing feminist, lawyer, mountaineer, writer, Buddhist practitioner and early environmentalist. The work unfolds like a series of lived pages or story segments, each “chapter” drawing inspiration from facets of Byles’ extraordinary life and legacy. Through sculptural form, material nuance and spatial rhythm, the installation invites viewers to engage with Byles’ enduring spirit of inquiry, independence and ecological awareness. Chapters moves beyond portraiture to honour Byles’ multifaceted impact: her achievements in law and social justice, her courageous ascents in mountain landscapes, her contemplative engagement with Buddhist philosophy, and her deep commitment to the natural world. This installation encourages a journey through narrative and memory, inviting audiences to pause, reflect and connect with the threads that shaped Byles’ life. Chapters resonates as both tribute and invitation – to explore stories of agency, resilience and the interconnectedness of human and more‑than‑human worlds
