A nearby village teaches a young man the traditional technique of dying local cotton fabric.

Together with the villagers of Andore, the young man attempts to dye a 2 metre by 4metre cotton sheet chroma green. After a week of mixing, boiling, and drying they decide they have it.

In a nearby field they set up their newly dyed green screen for a photo-shoot that could have taken place anywhere.

It has been written that the beaver is the second most influential creature on the environment, next to humans. Beaver to human relations have historically been contentious, leading to the extinction of beavers in many areas. The last beaver to step foot in Great Britain died over a century ago. In the last couple years, however, technology has made it possible to trace the ancestry of beavers found in eastern Europe to that of the extinct British beaver. Now, in a national park in Scotland, these foreign beavers have been flown in to repopulate Britain.

This is an ongoing project following the immigration of these beavers and their stories.

If You Build It, They Will Come... interrogates the border between fear and hope of an event and the prosaic preparations surrounding the possible event.

I have created a series of vessels that attract swarming bees, called bait-hives. The vessels contain a custom designed bee attractant that I have created by taking the queens pheromone and mixing it with various essen- tial oils and beeswax. This mixture attracts bees from up to 5 kilometers, engaging their swarming instinct encouraging them to leave their current hive to take residence in my bait-hives.

In attempts to expand my current apiary, I have set up a network of bait-hive hosts throughout London. The hosts were selected due to their prox- imity to current beehives, mak- ing it very likely that, one day, 20,000+ bees will swarm into the space to inhabit the hive. This scenario forces the bait-hive hosts to confront their comfort level with this object.

Do they want to attract a swarm to their space? Are they excited and/or scared of the prospect of living so close to a swarm of bees?

Becoming Critter are a series of exercises designed to challenge partici- pants to use their imaginative mind to reshape their relationship with nature.

The activities are modeled after meditative forms such asTai Chi andYoga. The ex- ercises challenge the par ticipant to walk and eat -as if- they were another animal (wolf, antelope, bear, coyote, etc.).Through slow medita- tive and sensory training, the exercises are intended to create subtle con- nections between the physical acts of eating and walking and participants' perception of themselves as animals.

During the exercise, participants are asked to create a story told through tracks they leave in the space in which we are walking. By walking in the space -as if- they were another animal, while wearing track tools created to stimulate users imagination, the participant can weave a narrative of an animal that is unlikely to co-inhabit the area. Through the process of leaving this fictional story, in tracks, we create a physical representation of the animal collaboration that was embodied during the moment of walking -as if. When future visitors to the space see these tracks, they are interpreted as animal, not human. Knowing this while creating the tracks reinforces the values in which the exercises are designed to instill in participants.

Each animal walk has been documented and is shown in HD video.The mood of the video is designed to challenge the viewer to enter a similar meditative/contemplative state as the person walking on video.

Why are they walking like animals?

Have I come across their path before?
