Under The City

On display as part of Earth Matters at Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh

March 2026 - November 2026

A collection of ritual amulets that pulls our attention to urban soils as living, sacred matter, often overlooked yet essential. Each object functions as a talisman to advocate for, celebrate, protect, and encourage renewed relationships with the ground around and beneath our built environments. The work invites exploration into urban soil as a site of care, memory, resilience, and possibility.
