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 from an ongoing dialogue between material and environment.

​

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

​

My practice is shaped by ecological awareness and ideas from dark ecology - a perspective that asks us to sit with discomfort, and acknowledge that beauty, decay, and death are part of the same tangled world. I also draw on memento mori, not to warn, but to reflect - on endings, beginnings, and what lingers in between.

​

Sustainability runs through everything I make. I reuse materials, grow from seed, and let time itself become part of the work. 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.
