Fera Moira

This series imagines ecological life in a possible future. Fera is feral, meaning “wild”, and Moira means “fate” (Greek). In this body of work, I am exploring the hopeful possibilities of rewilding- when land is returned to its natural, uncultivated state. To trace the forests wild explores the regenerative possibilities inherent in nature: how leaf litter breaks down and makes new life, how mycelia sprout into perfect circles, and how the forest floor is a wild and magical place. . In Elysium felted mushrooms come to life from a rusty bed frame while the mycelium (in crocheted wool) spreads beneath.

To trace the forests wild, 2021. Wool, cotton, linen, natural dyes, glass crystals, fur, taxidermy form, found materials. Installation at Owens Art Gallery.
