While all life is interconnected and interdependent, we are the only species that has become separated from itself, from other species and from the web of life that sustains us. The extractive and colonising system that controls and depletes the non-renewable resources on which we depend has separated us from the cycles of regenerative life and the Earth's abundance, with devastating effects on entire ecosystems. Given the ecological challenges we face, in my practice I’ve been questioning how we, as creative beings, can regenerate our interconnection with the web of life on our planet.
