“At the root of the ecological crisis lies the illusion of a dissociation between the human and the nonhuman realms. This acts as the driving force behind economic growth, political strategies, and technological development- all to the detriment of the Earth’s life support system” S. Oppermann and S. Iovino
My work explores our relationship to plants through the study of botanical crafts like herbal medicine and natural colours, and my interest centers on our ever-changing relationship with Earth.
My practice taps into environmental activism, recognising the need of extending our ideas of community by restoring our broad web of coevolved relationships. I work with organic matter such as natural fibres, plants and plant derivatives. I also utilise repurposed and recycled materials as well as digital media to document environments.
Like this, my research feeds from exploring markets, gardens, and forests; looking to preserve traditional knowledge in the pieces I create in collaboration with plants and raising environmental awareness.
