This project began in 2022, where I researched Ivy as an art material through working directly with it. My practice was guided by the seasons, and when I began I spent time sitting with the plant where it was growing, taking note of what else is around it, and connected with caretakers of the land who supported this project by saving the Ivy they removed from the land for me.

Thank you to Langley Environmental Partners Society, who taught me so much about Ivy and gave me more than enough to work with. Thank you to all the agencies and folks who supported this project along the way. And thank you to Canada Council for the Arts, who generously supported this project.

I now have a pre-recorded workshop all about weaving with Ivy available to purchase through my website.
