What can we salvage from the debris?

What can we create in the fringes?

​

While The Wandering Room gallery lay dormant over 2020, a rogue mint plant grew from a beam of wood. This powerful gesture of nature reclaiming the space became a call to action; to return to the fertile undergrowth, to celebrate the tenacity of the underdog.

​

Plucked from the words of Sylvia Plath, Nudgers and Shovers celebrates the beauty, potential, and regenerative power of the discarded and overlooked. It is a meditation on materials, imagery, and gestures grounded in the natural world and the poetry that spawns from humble and unexpected beginnings.
