New Work! 🪱
Under the City
It’s been a week since it’s been out in the wild. Nice to share something new and explorative.
Here are some lovely images captured of it Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh. Will be sharing some of the research and ideas soon.
Repost• ‘Earth Matters’ is now open! With over 30 artists in the exhibition, there’s a lot to dig into. To kickstart our ‘work of the week’ posts, today we’re taking a closer look at Stefanie Ying Lin Cheong’s work ‘Under The City’.
An advocate for sustainable craft-making, Stefanie has made this collection of ritual amulets from soil, clay, Scottish rocks and recycled metals. The pieces represent various overlooked elements of urban soils such as lichen, bacteria, earth worms and nematodes, which she personally examined under a microscope. She sees each object as a talisman to protect and renew our relationship with the ground beneath our built environments.
