“My art is grounded in the belief of one universal energy, which runs through everything: from insect to man, from man to spectre, from spectre to plant, from plant to galaxy”

Working in collaboration with the natural world. Growing, walking, foraging for materials from source to outcome. In search for regenerative processes, from ancestral to celestial.

Between the realms of art, science and healing. Concerned with natural, social and spiritual ecologies.

Honouring the cycles of the earth, reconnecting people to the land. Fungal networks, earth pigments, branches, footpaths, mantras, breathes, sun trails.
Based between Brighton and East London, my work is multi-disciplinary and exploratory. Working with and in the natural environment as well as with the communities which inhabit them. I am always open to collaboration/ workshops/ talks, so please get in touch if you would like to connect.
