Honourable Guests

Margs in the meadow in motion passing by, panting, tail swinging saying hi. Suzie sitting sweetly for a second, Sam Standing eyes set on something. So sweet and simple the life of just being. The very nature of here, now and wabisabi.

Marcy's Playground

My interest lies in contemplating worlds in all its sociopolitical, commercial, ethical and infrastructural intricacies. I am embarking on an adventure of building worlds of my own. This adventure involves the pursuit of a utopian construct, where everything is sentient and where I allow myself a playful attitude towards the work. Part of this play involves the invention of fountains. I think of them as sensual, empathetic, welcoming and fertile. Totemic places of abundance. These fountains function in a novel and strange world, serving as a motherly influence on all surrounding habitats. 

My practice is an organic type of world building, drawing on the intuitive nature of mycorrhizal networks and the workings of my imagination. It is open to and encourages tangents and side quests and serves as an antidote to the dystopian reality of our current context. A hopeful alternative, an intervention towards contemporary city living.
