Earthbound: Migration and natural pigments

Being on Earth 2025

Mixed earth pigments, bio waste and paper

For this project, she propose Being on Earth a series of incense-infused paper mâché sculptures made with locally foraged earth pigments and found bio waste from Bath. These forms—similar in spirit to her ongoing work—draw from ancient practices of making and mending, referencing the fragility of the human body, and its interdependence with land and ritual. The process involves layering and hand-shaping pulp made from paper and organic binders into soft, she let the materials guide the form — becoming bodily structures that appear fossilised or weathered by time.

These works aim to blur the boundary between body and landscape, reflecting on displacement, belonging, and ecological memory. By using materials sourced from the Bath area, this project will root itself in place while carrying traces of cultural memory from elsewhere—inviting a dialogue between migration and materiality.
