Installed at Urban Room, Folkstone Fringe

A tentlike form, a shelter-garment made using reclaimed fabrics which once assisted survival and access to nature. A daydream of mallow flowers, crawling up inside a wild edible, medicinal plant for comfort and protection. A desire for wild spaces facilitated by camping materials and domestic gestures.
