Functional Disobedience

Functional Disobedience: A Vow for Nature
​

This project responds to Plymouth’s recent troubled relationship to its trees. Noting protective scaffolding around trees in KARST’s neighbourhood, I wanted to make sculptural interventions that explore the strange balance between preservation, development and access to green spaces. 
I am working with the children of High Street primary school, exploring the scaffolding clamps’ disobedient functions, uncovering what it means to protect something and to consider how we value and Remember Nature all around us.
