More than work… here are a handful of projects and ideas in development that I am putting my energies into.

Wondering Ways is a living art installation, transforming the Grand Ballroom in the Bath Assembly Rooms by filling it with tall grasses to wonder through, to find both shared and private spaces for reflection. A Wood Henge made from a 250 year old fallen beech tree, the same age as the Assembly Rooms, was re-imagined to honor its history and a hopeful future. Wondering Ways was co-created with Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios and features music by Cosmo Sheldrake.

The Living Tree

The Living Tree is a scalable Christmas tree for public spaces, made up of smaller potted trees that are planted after the holidays; taking a familiar form and filling it with new meaning. The most recent design offers access to the sculpture’s interior and forest experience. Inside, the city fades and visitors are transported by their senses to an old growth forest via soundscape, smell and soft forest floor underfoot. After the de-installation, the potted trees are planted in small, self sustaining urban forests co-developed through community narratives.

This project is being developed for proposed installations in Berlin, Bath and New York City. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to know more.

PLAYFUL NATURE
Inspiring Creativity through Play

Playful Nature was a co-creation with Benjamin Martin at the tête gallery space in Berlin We use simple, recyclable materials, often re-purposing everyday items for our temporary play-based installations, to teach sustainability and the art of creating without consuming. Together with institutions for art and education, Playful Nature works to transform spaces into creative playgrounds for ideas, shared learning, and growing community.

Ushi is Sushi without the Seafood. A project I created for Berlin Food Art Week 2017, Ushi is a mix of curated events, edible experiments and social action aimed at elevating the art of plant based sushi. Partners included the Contemporary Food Lab, Freche Freunde and selected restaurants in Berlin.

“When you eat something that tastes right and isn’t wrong, it satisfies like no other food can. ”
