Slow Practices

 

My work begins in the dark - where life stirs quietly.

 

I grow wheatgrass roots inside latex moulds cast from human skeletal forms, allowing the living to inhabit the shape of the dead. These forms are not sculpted, but grown - shaped slowly through time, care, and collaboration with natural forces.

 

A background in science informs how I work. I understand how roots respond to moisture, gravity, and pressure - but I don’t try to control them. I guide, observe, and leave space for the unexpected. Each piece emerges through an ongoing dialogue between material and environment.

 

I work with matter that shifts and resists - root, soil, latex. Nature isn’t simply a subject, but a co-creator: unpredictable, fragile, and always alive.

 

My practice draws on ideas from dark ecology and memento mori, reflecting on growth, decay, endings, and renewal. Sustainability runs throughout my work - I reuse materials, grow from seed, and allow time itself to become part of the process.

 

I see making as a form of listening - to nature, to memory, and to the quiet transformations that unfold when we slow down enough to notice them.
