Can art be made for nature, and if so, how? What might it mean to create in ways that heal, replenish, and listen — to matter, to processes, and to the more-than-human world?
This project asks what it means for a sculpture to exist beyond its permanence as an object. In this context, the sculpture is understood not as an endpoint but as a stage within a biological cycle of transformation — a form that will decay, dissolve, and return to the soil. The work imagines whether art practices can be regenerative: participating in care, in healing, and in resistance to extraction by rethinking material sourcing and recognising the agency of materia as it changes and decays – nourishes or disrupts the ecosystems.
These sculptures and material samples are formed from locally sourced food waste, paper waste, biochar and plant-based pigments and all binders are non-toxic, bio-based, and biodegradable. The material has drawn its inspiration from clay and its methods. The sculpture and the samples are firm and durable, yet sensitive to water.
