In the public realm, the studio designs and directs touring and site-specific public installations, developed through collaborations with nature-centred academics, artists and activists. Moving between film, sculpture, movement and music, these public installations blend mediums to create new rituals for a time of climate collapse, illuminating stories of kinship and belonging that are under-represented in the mainstream.<\/p>\n

In the studio, Bryony works with an ecocentric and decolonial gaze to create paintings that explore the human body as a site of transformation; as an experience that is fluid, porous and intimately connected to all living systems. These works are guided by her \u2018wild drawing\u2019 practice, which prioritises sensorial experiences of environment over observational studies.<\/p>\n

Both sites of practice weave throughout the other to inspire, inform and shape a body of work that celebrates, above all else, human-nature interconnectedness.<\/p>\n<\/div>Read the Artist's statement<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
