seed bombs in situ

 

MA Final Show, 2013

Working with earth, clay, and seeds I am looking at changes in our environment that lead to evolutionary change.

I use a combination of hand crafted techniques including sewing, stop frame film and sound to make links in time. Darwin’s words can be heard and his experiments seen through the filter of twenty first century perception.

Visitors may take away the seed bombs which contain wild meadow seeds.
