My practice is site-specific and aims to develop relationships between people and their more-than-human environments. I am motivated by methodologies of care, maintenance, remembering and belonging. It is acts of care that create space for human re-belonging. Caring well is vital in the face of the climate crisis. Ecological restoration initiatives become increasingly abundant but many restoration projects are ‘placeless’; in that they lack mindfulness and respect for the more-than-human relationships that compose the place that is to be restored. Art practice allows restoration to take on new transversal frameworks based in locality. The Newtown Castle Trail historical loop is the site of my most recent artistic research as I explore creative practice as an essential component of ecological restoration and place-making. I maintained the trail by hand while using printmaking and natural dye methods to enact a conscious engagement with place and make the natural ecology of the trail accessible to walkers. I attempt to learn from existing ways of belonging with place and to create new pathways to restore healthy social-ecological systems.
