“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 delves our relationship with plants, expressed through botanical crafts such as herbal medicine and natural colour exploration. At the core of my practice is a deep interest in our ever-evolving connection to the Earth. By tapping into environmental activism, I aim to broaden our understanding of community, acknowledging the intricate, co-evolved relationships that sustain us. I work with organic materials like natural fibres, plants, and their derivatives, often incorporating repurposed and recycled materials. Digital media plays a role in documenting the environments I explore, offering another layer to my work. My creative process is rooted in the physical and sensory world, drawing inspiration from markets, gardens, and forests. Through the pieces I create in collaboration with plants, I seek to preserve traditional knowledge, unveil the living properties of plants, and foster environmental awareness.
