Ethos

Our NatureCultural work engages with the sacred and relational field of matter, habitats and the living natural processes of place. Together, we draw on an evolving ecology of practices: deep bodymind listening, honouring indigenous lineages, attending to ecosystems, intuitive drawing, tracing desire lines and being guided by the multiple intelligences and genius loci of place. From this co-creative process, design responses emerge as an integration of geography and history, living elements and human needs, choreographies and artworks, all within the diurnal, seasonal and cosmic rhythms.

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.

Miche Fabre Lewin

“Collaborative design embraces the political and the sacred, the ancestral and archetypal humanness of life on sentient Earth. With the matter and metaphor of living processes we are in a continuous enquiry into ‘what is a life?’, the re-membering that we dwell in a radical belonging with nature. This ethos in gratitude, respect, and the courage to challenge oppression, to and to honour the sacred in the everyday.”

Flora Gathorne- Hardy

“My life and art evolve within geographies of connection. For me, making art and landscape design is fundamentally an experience of responding with the intelligences and energies of people, other sentient beings and those of the land with its layered memories. These experiences come through my mind, hands, dreams, sounds, sensations, conversations, all expressed as a movement of co-making and co-thinking through drawing, writing, performance, and designing. Art allows me to become more fully present to life as an interconnected whole, to interact in ways that add to the diversity of expression and habitat.”

The collaboration between Miche Fabre Lewin and Flora Gathorne-Hardy began in 2010 as a two-day inquiry. What emerged was Everything is Here - a large-scale artwork that combined writing - ‘It’s Food – It’s Land’, ‘New Rhythms’ – imagery and drawings that together interwove their different and complementary artistic practices.
