In the Forest Garden Selected Works
The forest garden is an ongoing project, developed through quiet activism; an act of protest and resistance against the demands of extraction and extinction associated with perpetual growth and expansion. 

The forest garden is designed explicitly to inspire, enable and document ideas, located somewhere between ecological research, collaborative ritual, and experimental performance and moving image, finding relationship between body, movement, sound and space in a shared world. More
