Ella Yolande (b. 1997, UK ) lives and works in London. Tangled in thoughts about the vegetal, wildness, seeds and our messy, multi-species bodies, Yolande’s practice is informed by queer ecologies, ideas of resilience, preservation and the more-than-human. Through considering the history and medicinal properties of plants as well as the need for mutual flourishing and rethinking the human body as individual, she explores our interwoven existence with our surroundings through playful thinking on speculative ecologies.

 

Beverley Duckworth (b. UK) lives and works in London. Working with living sculpture and installation, Duckworth creates spaces and moments which connect the smallest, poetic actions of plants with precarious issues facing humanity. Her practice centres on the afterlife of the discarded and is rooted in small acts of reparation - sewing scraps together, watering fragile seedlings and nurturing the regenerative power of composting from waste materials.
