‘Over lockdown the garden became a sanctuary to grow plants to eat and become reacquainted with the seasonal evolution of plants in my patch. Cv19 year 1 was a wonderful growing year. In year 2, my small patch of crops was decimated by unseasonal plagues of caterpillars and slugs drawing me to think about past ritual practice invoked to protect the seasons cycles. Spirit figures in mask & costume evoke a magic realism of an older culture needing to be recalled as the natural world struggles with our careless treatment of it…’
