Earth Pigments

Processing pigment is a slow, meditative practice, I enjoy the way in which this opposes our cultural norms of productivity and efficiency. I am exploring how this alchemical process may support us on journies of transformation and healing by inviting us to reconnect more deeply with places and natural materials. Often, I work with what is there rather than seeking out material, this involves engaging and relating over a long period of time, returning and getting to know a place and its inhabitants, human and more than human.

Working with pigments can be likened to a ritual, of burning, of grinding, dissolving, separating ultimately culminating in the transformation of materials to create something different. On an eco- therapeutic level, I am interested in the wounding and healing that happens to both humans and the land around us. I wish to map these experiences of rupture, recovery and transformation. Through working with raw pigments I have collected from the land around me, I aim to both expresses beauty and disruption as a response to environmental crisis.

Recent Testimonial

Thank you for facilitating pilot programmes for the GLLM Potensial Programme on behalf of TEC Wales in academic year 2023/24. It was an absolute pleasure to attend the last Wellbeing in Nature session in Bangor, and I was humbled to hear how much the learners gained from attending the sessions.

Your nature-based programmes offer a well-rounded approach to learning and personal development, combining physical, mental and social benefits. They stimulate curiosity, creativity, and resilience. It is inspiring to see participants re-ignite their love for learning and connection with nature.

Thank you as well for your professionalism and promptness in delivering these courses. We look forward to collaborating with you over the coming years.
