(In)tangible

(In)tangible explores and celebrates our everyday micro landscapes. Lichens are natures pioneers, occupying six percent of the earth, essential bioindicators, ecosystem guardians and discrete non-human storytellers of deep time.

They are both ancient and current.

They are found almost everywhere.

In 2023 a Kew Gardens report ‘State of the World’s Plants and Fungi’ that ‘expanding our knowledge of fungi is the next frontier of biodiversity science. Mainly because of their covert lifestyles, these enigmatic organisms have long been overlooked by researchers.’
In 2024 participation on an international artist residency at the Kilpisjärvi Biological Station in Finland in 2024 enabled a creative response to the importance of expanding understanding through long term preservation and monitoring.

(In)tangible, specifically invites you to consider collaboration and care between species and the unseen rhythms and energy connecting all living organisms. Using spring water, lichens and fungi as focus points, new works combine drawing, print and intricate hand-cut paper to encourage you to look more closely and appreciate the unique symbiotic organisms bearing witness to our changing world and acting as essential monitors of climate change.
