A collaboration between myself and movement artist and facilitator Lindsay Hopkins. Our aim was to work with site specific materials - bot physical and emotional - to explore what living on the territory in question meant.

During 5 weeks of exploration and experimentation we learnt about the site - Centro Negra, Blanca de Murcia, Spain - and it’s historical and contemporary customs. We found a territory deeply rooted in agriculture but struggeling to find what is next.

As my contribution to the project I produced several physical pieces. I worked with wheat, growing it not for the purpose of the seed but to harvest the shoots, known as wheat grass. These were later distributed by a local coop (ironically selling to Madrid). I also created a series of stools made from the debris of abandoned buildings buildings.

The final presentation consisted both of a showing of my growing room and the furniture but also of participatory movement and breathing excersices - all of it an attempt to process what the place is and might become.
