PATCHWORK BRITAIN
ENVIRONMENT
2019
A self-directed textile installation and publication examining the UK's catastrophic loss of biodiversity through landscape as archive.
The UK's countryside looks idyllic until you see it from above: a sterile patchwork of intensive agriculture, ranked among the world's worst for biodiversity. This project translates satellite fields into large-scale textile work, modernizing British quilting traditions to document catastrophic loss. Biodiverse landscapes hide inside the fold, requiring discovery, mirroring our disconnection from the land. What would it mean to let Britain become wild again?
