Thematic/contextual information
This is a piece from a body of work through which I reflect on the thresholds and close interdependencies between wildness and domestication, informed by my time in rural Northern Ireland. Engaging with a range of fields such as contemporary agricultural practices, rewilding policies and archaeology, this work was developed from my research residency and exhibition at Gasworks London in 2019.
