(Soil / Rocks)

2024 - present

An ongoing body of work, made in collaboration with soil and rocks.

Both are magical - filtering the water we drink, growing the food we eat, helping us build our civilisations and absorbing vast amounts of CO2 from our air. As well as helping us to create the first ever known artworks, in caves around 64,000 years ago.

The series celebrates their beauty and importance to life on our planet. Sourced from a variety of locations, the works created from them condense place and time, connecting us to different landscapes, eras and histories.
