‘Healing Landscape’ explores how fungus and plant growth occupy crevices and surfaces, spreading over a valley floor and up the rock faces. A retreat then activates this landscape, to bring moments of pause and ritual to the obsolete site.  

In recent years, ayahuasca retreats have appeared around the world focused on community values, as well as spiritual and mental healing through the creation of specially administered herbal brews. ’Healing Landscape’ uses this programme to ease the symptoms of treatment-resistant depression for people burdened with their past and present lives. 

'The Fast and the Bespoke' looks at the preservation of folding volumes to bring a moment of preservation and delay to society's consumption. It began with the obsolescence of a sewing machine through the desire for fast fashion. An extracted fragment of the machine was reappropriated as an inflation and deflation device to investigate how fabric moulds and latches on to the human body, casting itself into unique and organic forms. The casting fabric structures led to a series of unique architectural fragments, creating permanent climbing casts for furniture and building components, which in turn informed the formal aspects of ‘Healing Landscape’.
