In the midst of accelerated environmental change, ​​I use art to explore our evolving relationship with the 'world that we are in and that is in us'  (A.N.Whitehead, philosopher, 1938). ​ My work with seaweed is inspired by the concept 'collaborative survival' proposed by anthropologist, Anna Tsing. It is a persuasive idea which offers positive possibilities for the future of planet earth. How can we find ways of working with the natural world rather than always taking from it?

Why Seaweed? ​
