My practice aims to generate a reciprocal relationship with the natural environment. Specifically, I am interested in the critical role that honeybees and birds play within ecosystems and have built various artificial habitats in order to support them and surrounding biodiversity. Within the nesting boxes and beehives, I then create sculptures in collaboration with these priority species. I see this practice crossing the boundaries between ecological and artistic intervention, creating new ways of understanding the relationship between humans, animal species and the natural environment.
