Fixed media.
Duration: 17:12

Pushing reaching falling replacing was inspired by archive plant ecology lectures and the flora and fauna on our doorstep. It was produced during Jenny Sturgeon’s artist in residence at National Library of Scotland during winter 2020-21. During the residency, Jenny ran creative music and writing workshops with 30 participants from across Scotland. This piece is what resulted from that collaboration. The accompanying piece As far north as anything grows is also available on youtube.
