The Deep Council Series
The Deep Council Series is a body of experiential, participatory artworks inviting audiences into a space of imagination, reflection and shared connection. Each work explores a different layer of the forces that shape our lives — the landscapes we inhabit, the energies we exchange, the symbols that guide our understanding. Through meditation, creative practice and intuitive tools such as tarot, I conjure a set of “councils” where different forms of wisdom gather. Together we reflect on how care, creativity and attention might help us re-envision our relationships with nature, with each other, and with the deeper patterns of life. They sometimes end in karaoke. Always adapted to place, space and people.
