As my project is still evolving, much of the work completed so far is either a work in progress or exploratory in nature, much of what has emerged so far has been evolutionary because of the people and places I have encountered along the way, this is the story so far.
My practice-based research explores peatlands through photography, film, sound, and digital media, documenting both the visible landscapes and the hidden ecosystems beneath the surface. I am experimenting with satellite imagery, time-lapse studies, and CGI to visualise hydrology, fungal networks, and soil life, while audio recordings capture the subtle sounds of soils under varying conditions. I am also working with sustainable materials such as wool, raw fleece, hessian, coir, and paper made from garden waste, creating sculptures, felted animals, and immersive installations that reflect peatland restoration practices. Educational tools like “bog boxes” help me explore the delicate flora of peatlands and consider ways to engage audiences with these overlooked ecosystems. Through this evolving process, I continue to investigate biodiversity, restoration, and the complex relationships between humans, plants, and soil, gradually shaping ideas for future immersive experiences.
