About

Our artistic practices engage with evoking the entangled relationships between ourselves, each other, the sentience of matter and the genius of place.

Each artwork is a manifestation of this sacred interdependence between our human wholeness and the flourishing of life on our beautiful Earth.

Topobiographies

A White woman, born on Zimbabwean soil, Miche Fabre Lewin has French and Jewish heritage. Her devotional vocation is rooted in a passion for art, ecology, food, and liberatory processes.  As an artist-of-the-becoming, Miche’s body of work embodies a profound re-membering of ‘rta’, the Sanskrit root of art, artisan and ritual.  This concept evokes how our humanness is in continuous evolution within a participatory and wholly interdependent cosmos. These interwoven threads manifest through her co-creating with sentience of matter, living processes, recycled and found materials – all in respect of the genius of place and people. Through her pioneering work as part of her doctoral research with Coventry University she has contributed the concept of ‘sympoiethics’ as a life-affirming ethos and practice of making-with our animate world.

Flora Gathorne-Hardy is a British-born, White woman raised in the eastern county of Suffolk. Her creative practice is a constantly evolving exploration of the geography of a life as a depthful describing (graphia) of our place as part of the living Earth (geo). This dedication weaves through her embodied engagement with the histories, evolved ecologies and subtle energies of place. Her body of work includes intuitive walking, performative drawing, experimental documentation and constellative practices. Flora’s commitment to engaging with wider fields of knowing is expanded and enriched by her collaboration with Miche and their Artist Research Associateship at Coventry University.
